I swear that LJ was designed by a 15 year old kid back in 1995 and no one bothered to update it when computers became capable of handling graphic content over an internet connection.
Two words for LJ: butt ugly.
Come on guys, hire a friggin' graphic artist and put a new face on this mess.
I now also have a WordPress account. I have done this in order to control access to my blog. Why not use LJ? I think it's butt ugly so in the mean time I'm going with WP.
