Login Window
When you first start LiveJournal you see a login window where enter your username and password. It remembers multiple users and their passwords as well.
Entry Window
This is where you type your journal entry. Just fill it out and hit the "Post" button when done.
To save space, there's also a mini-mode:
System Tray
When minimized, LiveJournal hides down in the system tray. One of the options is to have LiveJournal minimize whenever you make a new entry. This makes posting new entries really easy --- double click the system tray, type, click "Post", and keep working on what you were working on. You don't even have to start your web browser, which even on a fast machine takes a few seconds.
Post Options
For each post, you can set a bunch of other information.... your mood, what music you're listening to, who should be able to read it, etc. The music can be automatically detected from WinAmp, Sonique, Freeamp, as well as others...
For posting secure journal entries.
See who lists you as a friend... green links are two-way relationships, red links are people that list you, but you don't list them back, and blue links are people you list as a friend but dont list you back. You can select friends with red links and quickly add them, or remove anyone but red links. You can also jump to their journals or profile page.
This appears when you click the add friend button.
Here you can edit your friend groups, which control who can read what.
History Editing
The LiveJournal client also lets you edit any old entry you've written, even if you didn't write it with the Windows client ... you can update and edit from any client and they all stay in sync because the data is stored on the server. (if you want a backup copy of your journal, there is a facility on the website to download it, though.)
Editing a history item...
Link Assistant
This dialog helps you make links and inline images. Even for those that already know HTML, the keyboard shortcuts make it a lot easier.
This is simply the about box.
This is a list of all the user specific options you can set.
