LJ turns 26!

Folks, here comes our common holiday – LiveJournal is celebrating its 26 birthday! 🥳

During this time LJ has become not just a mere platform, but a cozy home, where:

  • The phrase ‘Hi stranger’ can start a twenty-year friendship
  • One can find a gossip for any taste, and a debate for any mood
  • The drafts hold unfinished confessions – embarrassing, yet too important to be deleted

But most importantly, it’s a place where your words bear weight. A good LJ entry is worth more than a thousand Likes, as it represents a living breathing thought, so…

Let’s have an LJ-style celebration!

As a birthday special, we’ve prepared a festive landing page where you can tell a truly fascinating story about your holidays.

hot off the press! Now in LiveJournal you can get your accounts verified and receive a checkmark beside the journal or community name.

The verification checkmark means that the account is maintained officially on behalf of a famous person or an organization — it's neither a fan page nor a hoax.

The checkmark doesn't imply any additional privileges or rewards for the author.
