J-land

I have written before that I keep an eye on various other journals on AOL. Back in the autumn of 2005 I obtained a list of journals that were nominated for the VIVI awards. I'm trying to latch on to some of them, but boy, am I having trouble. Since 15 November 2005, AOL in the USA has banner ads over the top of journals. This has led to a huge outcry, and a large number of people have left AOL. They are now blogging on other providers. AOL UK does not have banner-ads over their journals, and some American bloggers have therefore defected across the Atlantic.

To American readers: Pamela Hilger, (his1desire) who died at Easter, kept a directory of journals and blogging tips. Is anyone going to take over?
