I will miss LJ of course, I've been there since I was 14.
But, I worry that I will lose all of my entries. So, I shall let my paid account expire, and work on backing all my entries up here.

I will miss some really cool people and communities though. Any recommendations?

Firefox + adblock = no ads : )

I thought I read that LJ is set up so that adblock doesn't work, so I never tried. Does adblock work for you?

It works wonderfully. I never see any ads on LJ : )

Thank you. I'm wary of add-ons (strange mixture of computer adept with technophobe, here), but I'll have to look this up.

AdBlock Plus works very well with LJ, and is easy to install, too. Here's a link so you don't need to look it up.

Here's a list to get you started once you have adblock. This is most of the major adservers out there: https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/ There's also a nice privacy option that will block web bugs, tacking scripts and information collectors.

There's also an Adblock-plus like add-on for Internet Explorer, if you use that: http://simple-adblock.com/
Both the Firefox Adblock-plus and the IE simple-adblock plugins work really well for me. I forget that sites have ads until I see them on someone else's computer...
