1. Annie sounds like a completely normal pre-hormonal pre-teenager. I was TOTALLY like that. Completely. To a T. It was like you were describing me at that age dude.
2. Poor Aaron. I totally get it. But if he's heard you talking about Annie being 'sad' and 'depressed' he also might be using those words to get attention. Yah it fucking sucks to have a cast on his arm, but there are other things he can do, he just needs to figure out what they are.
Website. 1. Get a wordpress because you can hook up to more blogs that way. They also have more customization that other places, more support and just is all around awesome. You can set private, filtered posts on Wordpress too. Your comment settings can be the same as eljay. The backend looks REALLY similar to LJ's Rich Text Edit. Its all super user friendly. They also have built in areas for RSS feeds, Feed burner, google analyitics, google adwords and other fun tracking goodies.
2. Anyone who says they won't follow you is stupid because you can easily set up a RSS feed here on eljay. It would just be up to YOU to come back over here and answer comments on the rss feed, OR ask people to pop over to your blog to comment there. Its not hard.
3. I use AdblockPlus, so I rarely see ads on people's websites so it doesn't bother me in the least. However, I would be willing to turn it off on your site to click some links and make you some money.
4. You do realize you'd have to get a twitter to announce you have a new blog post up right? More traffic = more money. That is something I cannot wait to see. haha
5. I offer my design services to you if Grant wants to do the ugly backend stuff or if he's busy, I can help you set up a wordpress.
6. I *THINK* you can archive LJ and upload it to wordpress, I'll have to look. here's one and I'm sure there are others Grant can look up.
From a financial stand point I think its a good idea. Sure you might lose some readers, but you'll also gain a fuckton more. However, it will also split your time between your blog, and actually reading and commenting on your friends journals over here at eljay. Oh wait. You don't do that already. :P
You'll be able to sell ad space to companies and WAHM's you like, and or gift them to start up WAHMs. its really a great idea.
