LiveJournal totally rocks, and I don’t want to move from here. However, there’s a bunch of stuff I really want to see »
Categories: Because of the social aspect surrounding LiveJournal, there are issues concerning how to go about the implementation—whether to allow friends to subscribe to individual category feeds, how the “friends” concept would then be affected, etc. I say just go ahead with the implementation, by default friends are subscribed to all categories. We can bother about the nuances later. Incremental development.
Trackbacks: These are pretty common, something that every goddamn blog software supports.
Statistics: I would like to have visitor statistics, something like what Webalizer provides.
Google AdSense: It would be really nice to allow display of AdSense ads.
Feeds for comments: I’d like to have feeds for comments to individual posts, as well as for recent comments.
There’s very few reasons that one would want to go for a paid LiveJournal account. Take a look at the comparison. I mean, come on, is customization the only reason one would want to pay $25 for? There needs to be more motivation to buy a paid account. I don’t mind seeing some of the above features paid-only—notably statistics, and allowing display of Google AdSense ads.
