Blogger VS Open Diary

Since Saturday a few of my Open Diary Favorites have decided to transfer over here due to the immaturity level of the majority of diarists that are on OD. I think it is incredibly unfortunate that people are leaving OD because I feel like the people who make the site worth it are almost all gone and now I'm hanging out there all by my lonesome :o( I just can't see myself actually leaving OD because its been my online home, so to speak, since about '98 and I just thought I wouldn't ever leave. And all of that is not to say that leaving is what I've decided to do; because it's not. I just thought I'd establish myself here in the event that I do choose to come here more often.

It does seem to me that this site is far less user friendly and a lot of the features that I LOVE about Open Diary have nothing comparable here. For instance: for the life of me I cannot figure out how to make a list of "favorite" bloggers. One of my OD Favorites told me that even once you figure it out (and its difficult) that it doesn't let you know when they've updated and that is one of my favorite features at OD especially since, over there, the majority of my 800+ entries are favorites only.

So needless to say I'm just not sure where to start here :o\ Any advice or helpful tips will be welcomed with open arms!
