Since the Sims 2 Website appears to be running at a very slow rate, I'm beginning to think about posting my stories to Live Journal instead of the usual Exchange. I first wanted to know what you all thought of that. I also had a few questions like:
Is it easier to put the stories on the Exchange or Live Journal
Do you get about the same amount of response you usually would get if you post on Live Journal
And which one you prefer, Live Journal or Exchange?
Thanks for you help!
Much Love,
~ Dani

I don't know whether its because of where I am, but LJ runs quite slow for me sometimes, so I post my stories on wordpress instead. It is great to post stories elsewhere, plus you're not as restricted and suddenly everything flows better! I still have a soft spot for the exchange though

I personally perfer LJ. It's quit easy to post your pictures on there, as long as you take the time to upload them to photobucket or another photo sharing website. It can be a long process, but as can writing a story for the exchange as well! Whatever site you decide to use, you might want to steer clear of the site for a while. You never know if it's going to work or not.

It's easy enough on wordpress, you just upload the pictures straight to wordpress, copy the text in, and Bobs your uncle. If I can do it, then it can't be that back bad

After thinking about it for like.. 5 minutes. I like LJ and Exchange the same amount.
LJ
- There really aren't any trolls. - Comment instead of Guestbook. - It runs really fast.
Exchange
- More people will see your stories(most of the time). - You get an actual rating, not just comments.
If I had to chose one or the other, though, it would be the exchange. Mostly because of all of the people. It's harder to get followers in LJ.
But that's just my opinion...

Thanks for your input Emmibear I'm trying really hard to take into consideration everything, I'm still in the very very early stages of putting the story together, I should have been working on it the last few weeks while I have been out of school sick, but I just couldn't motivate myself to think XD

Yeah, I'm still torn between the two, so I upload to wordpress a few days earlier, and usually the original version with all the exchange rule breaking in. Then I take all of that out over the next few days and upload to the exchange, so there's a version there too

I have only used the exchange this far. It seems much easier to me since it loaded right to the site. Now since everyone is having issues I don't know what to do. I do have a site on webs that I link my stories to, and found that I can link there, but I have to manually put my pics where I want them, they won't copy and paste over from word (where I type it all up). I have done this with part of chapter one, but as of right now I have no pictures...lol. So yea I don't know what I'm going to do either

I don't really know much about wordpress, but LiveJournal is a blogging site. I think wordpress is a blogging site too.

I wanted to put mine legacy on my Webs (my Live Journal is used for my rants ) but, I have no idea how to use it, it confuses me, haha! I was going to use Webs when the exchange decides to stop working, and hope people will go there to read my legacy from where I left off, because there is no way I am re-writing it and finding all the pictures again, because I write it down in a notepad, not in Word

You might want to try a different site - webs is difficult, glitchy, and has limited bandwidth. Wordpress is a good site to use as well
