done it, will probably do it again, simply because i like the control it gives (much easier backup, including comments; no third party system to learn for the appearance of the thing), but next time i'll synch it separately with my LJ instead of just providing an RSS feed. technically this isn't a big deal if you already know what you're doing sysadmin-wise; if you don't you'll have bigger things to worry about at first. :)
drawbacks:
- if you want to be read by most LJ poeple, you have to establish an RSS feed, syndicate it on LJ, and then watch it because people won't know the difference when it comes to commenting, and you can't get comments from a syndicated feed mailed to you. or figure out how to synchronise between your blog and your LJ otherwise, which can be done, but is a PITA.
- comment spam. *bleagh*. you'll end up having to make commenters jump through hoops because of it.
- even fewer substantive discussions than here because comments on blogs are even harder to track than comments here for anyone other than the blog owner.
