I discovered something interesting about Livejournal just now.

The S2 style of page formatting which is supported has no date on the Friends entries unless you have a paid account. If you go back to the S1 style of page formatting which is not supported, you get the date back, although admittedly you don't get the pretty colors and designs of the S2 page format.

Dreamwidth, meanwhile, doesn't care. You always get the date regardless of your paid or unpaid status.

Odd, that.

I think this doesn't have much to do with paid vs unpaid on LiveJournal, but rather a result of fairly unstandardized styles developed over a range of time by different people, some of which are paid/plus only, some of which are free.

For instance, Smooth Sailing on LiveJournal is, I believe, available for Basic accounts and has dates on entries on your friends page.

Every time I think about making my own page code, I first notice there are no examples anywhere, and then try looking at page source and see what appears to my eye to be spaghetti code.

I can puzzle my way through html, but I can't seem to puzzle my way through css or Javascript.
