I consider LiveJournal (www.livejournal.com) to be the most valuable and unique source of information, I dream of sorting this information into "shelves" and "business cards" (like "catalogue multimedia cards") of my Panlog. But for this, it is first necessary to single out the most popular "live journals" (blogs, diaries), although, of course, popularity-mass character is by no means a guarantee of informativeness and thoroughness. I myself dream of slowly evaluating every significant blog, but only during the contentization of the Personalities section of my Panlog. However, an overview of the most interesting blogs, including political ones, is presented in the LJ itself in the blogs of Ilya Peresedov and Denis Tukmakov. Someone I would add, including from the list of my friends. It is not so much the discussion of important topics that is important, but the receipt important information and stimulating intellectual impulses. First - this is what, having spent tremendous work, Ilya Peresedov selected in the material "Who's Who in LiveJournal":

Economy and business.


There are persistent rumors that everything will seriously change soon, so I consider it necessary to light up in order to make a comparative analysis of future changes after some time.

1. varlamov.ru

Deservedly the permanent leader of LiveJournal for several years now, Ilya is two heads taller than many bloggers. All this is due to his unique talent to see the future and the ability to lead and delegate authority to a team of assistants. Today, this is not just a blog, but, perhaps, one of the most cited media, and Ilya himself has long turned into a media person.

2. mi3ch

So to say, LJ intelligentsia, Dmitry is one of the most erudite bloggers. He recently announced that he is going to make a political career and run for deputies, and although our points of view differ on many issues, I wish him success in this field, since there is a serious shortage of decent people in our politics.

3. davydov_index

I guess for what purpose this project was created, but I can’t understand why it was given the name of a boring program on the RBC channel, in fact this is the most common yellow news bureau, as a rule, these are 20 events rewritten from the media, one of which begins like this: MAKAREVICH ..., CORD ..., POZNER ..., SHEVCHUK ..., PUGACHEVA ..., VINE ... etc.

There is a feeling that this blog is being read by bots, since the average number of comments rarely exceeds 10, and, judging by the daily growth of the SC, it is higher than that of Ilya Varlamov.

4. theme

According to alexa.com, this is the most popular blog in LiveJournal, today its traffic is 4.56% of the entire site. If the Subject suddenly starts to put kats in his posts, he will become the first LiveJournal blogger in a few weeks.

Well, actually, the main thing is the blog from which I discovered LiveJournal, long before I made my first entry here.

5. lena-miro.ru

One of the most scandalous blogs, in the good sense of the word, people come here for a good kick or to fill their boring and worthless life with emotions. According to rumors, Lenochka is the sweetest and kindest person, but it’s worth putting her at the keyboard ...

6. evo_lutio

Polygraphs about psychology

7. macos

Once Alexander admitted to me that he wants to overtake Sergey Dolya in the rating and become the first travel blogger, I gave him some advice and after a while he succeeded. Then Alexander raised the bar for himself and decided to become the first and again turned to me for help, then I painted a strategy for him, but the prerequisite was to gather a staff of assistants and Alexander began to implement. After some time, he rose to the second line of the rating, but at the last moment he realized that he was not ready to trust his work to strangers and dispersed his small team.

In my opinion, Alexander is the most hardworking blogger, because while I was telling him the strategy on how to climb the LJ Olympus on the plane, he not only listened carefully, but at the same time managed to write several posts for his blog.

8. bespridanitsa

It is very curious to know who is behind this blog)

9. miumau

Good kind blog for girls

I once decided to join the top 10 LJ bloggers on a bet, and here I am.

11. kiss_my_abs

Here I come to admire the beautiful Sonya

12. aquatek_philips

Sergey is a tireless traveler, the most vivid impressions from trips are only on his blog.

13. Journal LJ

LJ magazine is a team of editors who select all the most interesting for us and publish it on the alternative top page, there are rumors that this page will soon become the main one.

14. colonelcassad

Sometimes I look here too, according to alexa.com, this magazine is one of the leaders in terms of guest traffic, this is traffic from outside.

15. The great culinary specialist of our time, his name is so popular that mentioning him is already considered bad form.

Instructions for creating a blog in LiveJournal

After my post about making money on a blog, a lot of letters come in with questions: “How to make your own blog?” In principle, there is nothing complicated about this, but in order to satisfy all readers, I publish a guide to creating a blog on LiveJournal.

Registration in LiveJournal

I draw your attention to the fact that instructions and guides for managing and setting up blogs are in the Help and Faq sections of the LiveJournal. In them great amount information, but often not necessary in order to simply start using the service. So I will tell about the main actions to be completed creating a blog.

Before creating a blog on LiveJournal, you need to get an email address. The easiest way is to open a mailbox on any free mail service - on Yandex, Rambler, Google or Mail.ru. In order not to remember passwords on various mail services, I recommend that they be immediately redirected to your main e-mail. So you can have an unlimited number of mailboxes, working directly with one.

If there is a mailbox you can start blogging. Let's go to www.livejournal.com. There is a lot of different information about LiveJournal, but we are now interested in an inscription or a button "Create an account". Click and go to the registration page. It needs to fill in some fields.

Username.

Choose your name from Latin letters, numbers and underscores.

E-mail address.

There must be a real address here, because. it automatically receives confirmation of registration, as well as all messages related to LiveJournal. These include messages that a comment has been made on your blog or that someone has added you to their friends list.

Password.

Enter your password and remember it. It is better to use both letters and numbers in the password.

Confirm the password.

Confirm the password by typing it again.

Birthday.

Here, in principle, you can enter any date. LiveJournal does not require you to enter your real age. Yes, and when registering a blog, you can completely or partially hide your birthday from prying eyes.

Checking that you are human.

This item is a standard protection against spammers who carry out automatic registrations using special programs. To check, enter the 2 specified English words. If it didn't work out the first time, it's okay, next time another one, usually more readable, will be issued.

Site news.

By default, this field is checked with the text “ Yes, send me LiveJournal announcements.” If you do not want to receive emails with LiveJournal news, uncheck the box.

After filling in the fields, press the button: "Create an account"

On this page, we are offered to quickly create our profile. I recommend that you carefully consider this, because in the future it will significantly affect the promotion of the blog. LiveJournal itself puts it this way: “Let others know who you are. Filling in all of these fields is completely optional, but the more you fill out, the better.” I explain why - this page will subsequently be called your blog profile and will receive a unique address on the Internet, i.e. will be another blog post that is available to readers and search engines. Filling out sections...

With fields “Name”, “Gender”, “Where are you located” I think there will be no problems, especially since you have already filled them in and they are substituted automatically. But if you want, you can change the name, because. your nickname appears there by default.

Then comes the “What are you interested in?” section. Here you are invited to fill in the fields with your favorite musical artists, books, films, and also name your hobby. You can also list your other interests. Each interest can be represented both by a word and a phrase. Interests are separated by commas. After you complete the registration, in the profile view, you will see that those interests that are shared by anyone else have become hyperlinks. By clicking on such a link, you will find yourself on a page where other users who have the same interest are represented. Those interests that are unique will remain just text. Check their spelling carefully. Perhaps they just made a mistake. For example: “players” and “players” - will lead to different pages.

Next comes the big field “Tell us a little (or a lot if you like) about yourself:”. It allows you to post any information. More information - more content - better promotion in search engines.

In the next box on this page, you are prompted to select your account type - “Paid” or "Free". I think the free type is 99% of the time to start with, but it's up to you. All the benefits of a paid plan can be explored by clicking on the hyperlink located next to the account type.

After that, in the frame on the right, select the style of your account. Well, it's all up to your taste and color! then press the button: “Save and Continue” Now you need to check your mail on the email box, there will be a letter with a link. Follow the link to complete registration. If everything is correct, you will see the page:

All in principle, the creation of the blog is completed. You now have a blog named www.name.livejournal.com where name is the name of your blog.

First blog post.

If you are on the page above, please follow the link. “Write in a magazine”. If you just entered the blog from its main page www.name.livejournal.com, then click on the link “Post” (or "New Post").

In the window that opens, enter the subject of the entry. The subject of the entry is very important, it should not only reflect the content of the entry, but also include keywords.

There are two modes for entering text: visual editor and HTML. The first allows you to format the text in the same way as it is done in a text box. Word editor, and the second allows you to enter text with tags. For novice users, in my opinion, it is better to use a visual editor.

Enter the body text of your message. In mode visual editor you can change the font size and color, insert and delete hyperlinks, tables, numbered or bulleted list, highlight text fragments in italics or bold, underline, etc. The toolbar icons are very similar to those in Word.

The ability to remove under the cut is very important for LiveJournal users, both in terms of the readers of his blog and in terms of the blog's ranking in search engines. It is more convenient for blog readers, because if the text of the message is long, then it will take up too much space in the friend feed, which is unlikely to please them. They will go to your page themselves if they are interested in the topic, but if this topic is imposed on them, they may be unhappy.

And from the point of view of search engines, it is important to understand the following. In order for your resources to support each other, it is good to have in each message several hyperlinks to those sites or individual web pages that you want to draw attention to or that you want to raise in the search results. However, if these links are not removed under the cut, then on the first page of the blog, on which 20 posts are usually placed, twenty links of the same type will be located. Such a large number can be perceived search engines as spam and will most likely result in de-indexing or downgrading. Therefore, fragments of pages that contain links of the same type must be removed under cat. There they will not look so reprehensible.

If it becomes necessary to insert a link into the text in the visual editor mode, then you should enter the text, then select it and, by clicking the "Insert / Edit Link" button, add a link to the desired resource in the pop-up window that appears. And if in the visual editor mode a copied fragment of text is inserted that already contains a link, then this link is saved when pasting.

If you need to insert HTML tags, it is recommended that you first switch to HTML mode and add these tags already in it. Otherwise, they will be treated as plain text.

After entering the message, you can already send it to the blog, but for a more complete use of the blog's features, I recommend taking a closer look at all the fields located below the body text field: Tags, Mood, Where are you now, Music, Comments, Hide, Mature, Recording available.

"Marks"

Be sure to fill in the "Labels" field. These are keywords. Firstly, users can use them to find your blog when they need to find materials on a specific topic. In addition, tags are usually indexed by search engines, and not just on your blog. They are collected on separate pages of LiveJournal and a considerable number of various Internet resources. All these resources are visited by spiders and have separate addresses on the Internet. As a result, you get hyperlinks to your blog from a variety of addresses, what will help in the promotion of the blog. Try to include in your blog tags the words you want to promote your blog for.

"Mood"

This section allows you to make your post more emotionally charged. Fill in at your discretion.

"Where are you now"

Also more Additional Information for your friends about your whereabouts, it is optional.

"Music"

Like the first section, for a more expressive post, indicate the currently listening to the musical composition.

“Comments”

Depending on which option you choose, it will determine who you allow to comment on your posts, if at all. By default, comments are open to everyone, unless you set other rules when setting up your blog.

"Hide"

Allows you to hide comments - all or by certain parameters.

“For adults”

Here I think everything is clear. Censorship to restrict access to "adult" materials.

“Record available”

This field allows you to make the entry visible to everyone, either only to those who have been added to the list of friends by the account owner, or generally only to the owner of the journal. All. Those whose clearance level does not allow them to see the recording will not be able to see it and will not even know about its existence.

After filling in all the required fields, it remains to press the button “Send to log name”, your blog entry will appear. This entry will have its own address on the Internet. Here, in fact, all you need to do in order to start blogging online.

Blogger Mikhail Kovalev, unable to tolerate the regular appearance of not the most censorship vocabulary in the diary of blogger Artemy Lebedev, wrote a statement to the Russian prosecutor's office, the purpose of which is to ban the use of invective vocabulary throughout the American portal Livejournal.com. The blogger cares about the moral health of Mr. Lebedev personally, as well as all of his subscribers, and indeed all Internet users. A blogger cannot sleep peacefully and cannot understand in any way that a blog is, in general, a kitchen. And Mr. Lebedev owes nothing to anyone.
