some of this feels a bit unintuitive

Like it's weirdly difficult to get to the point of actually making a new post; it took a while to figure out how to chnge my icon and background; I'm not fully clear on how to make a new username/identity, other than presumably by joining or making another community, which seems... odd? Do people have to 'join my community' to follow my blog, and essentially just be members who can't post?

But, yeah, I like it! I have been hoping for a livejournal/tumblr-ish mashup for a while now, because I miss LJ communities and the option to interact via comment threads rather than reblogs. (Also icons, but I guess you can't have everything. But icons were fun!)
