My Diary, how to perfect it

[Naiwen]

So yeah guys, some critique or review regarding my diary please. Tell me ways to advertise it more and how to improve it further more and even more too. I know I post a lot already, but yeah. I need some more tips.

Description: A personal journal of sort. Skin's parchment styled and I type in my thoughts about various topics, many things gone through or pulle through in life and etc.

Link Here: http://naiwen11.livejournal.com/. Rate it and don't sugar coat it because I'm not sensible to harsh views about it.

Ok well I can suggest a few ideas but I have no idea how to promote a personal blog.

- I would personally change the theme into something more snazzy, I don't think brown/ beige is a great colour for any website.
- I would save up and buy, or get here for free, a domain. That'll really help attract visitors a lot more- they'll see you as a professional.
- Join some blogging circles, that quite often helps traffic.
- Do some blog posts for Google. What mean is, take a look at what's currently trending and do a blog post on it now and again.

Anyway thats all I've got- Good Luck!

I think Sam gave you some very good advice, you might want to think again.
I would also reduce the size of some of your paragraphs. Shorter paragraphs are more enticing to read.

Might be a good idea... but yeah, I just can't hold myself back to write lots... XDD bad habit of mine.

I would say that you should change that theme, and get a TLD. You should probably also make the paragraphs more spaced out, and more formatted. It just looks like walls of text right now

But i can't because LJ's too simple to play around with it.

Well, this may be kind of a huge change but, maybe try exporting to a Wordpress blog? They have many .. Many themes, and you can do all of that, and more easily

Well, I have used Wordpress afore, but I found it a hassle to use, just for the record here.

I have to say Wordpress is super easy... I use it for a lot of websites, mostly cause I'm lazy

The thing I would probably recommend is to have links to the diary parts if you want to keep the length of the diary parts. Either that or shorten the diary parts like Dani72 said.

EDIT: Also change the theme while you're at it.

If money's a issue, use WGBB$ to get a domain.
