Welcome to Journal Land. Rate++ all the way, man. Maybe if you're chill enough, you'll get to roll with my crew. Ha ha haaa... just kidding... but no, really.
If you want your journal to be popular, here are the three keys...
Post lots of pictars. Nobody wants to read your stuff w1th0ut teh p1kt4rZ!
Post alot about whatever project you're involved with. Try to give people insight as to the details of what you are doing while using as little code as possible. Remember, this is a journal, not a tutorial.
It's alright to get personal, and even be liberal about talking about the many details of your life. I know I do. But remember, nobody wants to sit back and load 20 pictures of you and your sister's boyfriend with dreadlocks pretending to eat a cat and trying to pass the dude off as yourself (little nudge, you know who you are... kidding, you're my main man) in dire hopes that you'll write a few sentances about your game project.
TraderJack pretty much covered everything I was going to say (including the sister's boyfriend business), so you'll have to settle for a "Welcome to Journalville". :P
and have a pie of piece +
