I have a LiveJournal now!....so, how do I use it?

I just went on and set up an account for myself (Tumblr is blocked at my school, but LiveJournal isn't). It worked just fine. If it still doesn't work, maybe try using Chrome?

Livejournal's support page has the following right at the top:

"Users attempting to create new accounts are currently unable to due to issues with the presentation of the Spam challenge (CAPTCHA) Developers are currently in the process of investigating and will restore this functionality as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for the inconvenience. "

So it looks like the only thing to do right now is wait.

I've got to go, but here's just what I can find quick. http://mysouth.su/2011/03/livejournal-has-undergone-the-most-powerful-ddos-attack-in-its-history/

What's your internet browser?

I use Internet Explorer, and apparently there's supposed to be an image that shows you something to write down. The problem was that the image was blocked by my browser's security settings, and I think the message that scrolled at the top of the screen said something about the image not matching up to some kind of security certificate or something.

Either way, it's probably your browser's security settings.

If you use IE, it should flash you a message at the top of the page saying they had to block some content, and usually they'll tell you to click something to disregard that particular security setting. If you don't, I'll defer to the judgement of others.
