DeadJournal is a similar site to
LiveJournal as it is based on the same
open-source code developed by
Brad Fitzpatrick (know as
bradfitz on LiveJournal). DeadJournal operates an alternative to LiveJournal and is
themed like its name, dark colours and
puns on the dead part of the name like replacing
friends with
fiends. It tends to attract a lot more
gothic
members that its counterparts, maybe due to the name, who knows?
With DeadJournal you can customize your journals style as much as you want. This could be a simple change or the creation of a whole new style. Its a very simple system to use, for both methods of customization.
DeadJournal recently introduced an invitation code system, by which you have to have a code from an existing member to join. This is used to help slow down growth while bandwidth problems can be overcome.
