and interesting stuff like your photos. For instance, if I wanted to see that photo of you standing in various places in your living room, I could just go to the journal and easily find it.

But, to post in it, you have to post on-thread in DU, and then you can add those posts to your journal. You can't just post in your journal.

Yeah, I think you should start one. Really, the only time involved is setting it up, and that's minimal. Then you just click a link at the bottom of your post to add it to your journal.
