Instructions

  First of all, you need to login to your account. If you do not have an account on LiveJournal, then you can click the “Signup for LiveJournal Now: It’s fast, fun, and free!” button present at the top of the main page and fill in the required information to complete the registration.

  Once you are logged in, you can search for communities by looking for topics of your interest at LiveJournal. To look for the pages, you can hover your mouse over the “Explore” tab and select the option you like, such as "Search by Interest", "Search by School", "Ratings", etc.

  You can also consider searching for a community directly. LiveJournal has a general community directory that lists all of the communities available, as well as a school directory where you can search for communities exclusively at your school.

  Post a comment on LiveJournal’s community quest page to see if a community exists for your topic of interest or not.

  You can also log onto a community’s info page that you want to join. Once you find a community you want to join, click on the name of the community, underlined and in blue font, which links to the community’s info page.

  Click the “To join this community, click here” link at the top of the community’s info page. One possibility is that you will open a page letting you join right away; in that case you will instantly have access to the privileges of the community. You may, however, have to be approved by the community maintainer, delaying your access until they’ve had a chance to approve you.
