Frakkin' Interweb learning curve...
May I just say, as an old lady, that learning the ins and outs of LJ communication is making me crazy? I mean, I'm using the frakkin' manual, aka reading the FAQ, but things that seem to me as if they should be self-evident, or at least should be self-evident questions to ask and get answers for, aren't. *Grump*

Good luck with the rest of the learning curve.
As I just said to someone else, I may end up using this space to write things. "Things" is a technical term we "writers" use to describe "things" that we "write."
Have you tried any of the LJ clients? They're available from a "download" section somewhere or at least there are links to sites that have software.
I use XJournal on my Mac, used to use Semagic on my PC. Both make it easier, I think.
(Also good to see you over on The Oncoming Recaps...I don't know if you lurk or post at TWoP, since you have your own eminently excellent television-related sites and enterprises...but if you haven't read Jacob's recaps of Who or BSG, you are missing a fanTAStic writer, and I'm trying like hell to get him back on the site.)
If you're on a Mac, go to this page and use the "Download Now" link to download iJournal. Then install and run it (I can walk you through that if need be).
Both these pieces of software are "clients" that interact all nice like with Livejournal. So you actually make your post within the client software, which has all sorts of useful tools for doing LJ-related stuff built in. Most have autosave too so you needn't worry about losing a post if your web browser crashes. All sorts of bells and whistles, though you don't necessarily need to use many of them.
I find it makes it much easier to post to LJ and they're usually more intuitive than the LJ website is.
I have an account, assuming it's still there. Didn't post very much, I think the one time I did I got picked on by Aaron Sorkin. Good times, good times.
I used to regularly read recaps for certain shows and once in a while I'll still head over to read recaps written by friends of mine.
I'm fairly allergic to message boards and mailing lists and newsgroups devoted to TV shows. Sad, but true.
I am curious now and may have to check out a Doctor Who recap or two.
Never mind....
