Here is your starter journal! Log in to try it out :D

To add your own entries, go to User Info and click on the pen button.

Or you can always access the various admin links from the menu at the top of your User Info page. To update your journal, go to Journal -> Update.

To edit stuff, you can go to:
Manage -> Entries (edit/delete your journal entries)
Manage -> Info (edit your User Info)
Manage -> Userpics (add/remove avatars, you're allowed up to 3 at a time)
Manage -> Password (change the friggin' password!)
Manage -> Customize (change the look of your journal. At the moment, the style is set to Flexible Squares + Chocolate Milkshake theme)

You can add Friends by going to other people's User Info page and click the Add User to Friends List button (a person icon with + sign). I've added myself to your list. Once you add friends, you can see their latest entries on your Friends page. When you're adding Friends, you can tick which group you want to put them. For me, I ticked Family. Then you can specify whether you want to show your entries or pictures only to people in a certain group. Why not try adding aiyumenosuke (phiboy) to your list?

To display a link, you can just type in the address like this: http://www.livejournal.com/users/designer_win
Or you can use html. Edit this post to see how I do links like this.

To upload photos, it's a little fiddly because you'll have to log out then log into my account, then go to Journal -> Pictures, and click on the Manage button. There you can upload up to 100MB of stuff. I've created a gallery called Family for you.

That should be plenty to get you started. Go ahead, try it! (and you can delete this post once you're on top of things).
