I have never regretted moving from livejournal to wordpress. The site is cleaner, it uses CSS so it loads faster, and has allowed me to use a slew of useful things like traffic monitoring, categories, easy image adding, and other goodies. In fact, my posts have become so frequent that I found [...]
