Doing some testing at LiveJournal

I have been doing some testing at LiveJournal...JohnCVermont LiveJournal

So far, the testing has been interesting. More on that later.

But why am I testing LiveJournal when I already have a perfectly good Blogger account? It is a good question.

I am testing LiveJournal's blogging software because Blogger's performance is terrible.

So far, the designs and UI for Blogger are somewhat better and more free styles to choose for the free account but the performance of just publishing a single simple blog entry in Blogger is very disappointing.

Although the Blogger UI has a better look and feel, the LiveJournal performance is much better.

I have encountered some problems with actually composing the entries such as inserting a hypertext link which is probably the most common blog publishing action.
