InsaneJournal

Overwhelming tasks ahead...
I am crossposting this to IJ and LJ. Okay, I need to know a few things. Is there a place I can go to that will show me how to code/tag things in my posts on IJ? Like how do I cut my post? Things like that. I'm sure they're not the exact same codes though they may be similar.

Also, I was in the process of friending a bunch of people on LJ. I have a list of people I want to friend. Now I am going through that list and finding most of them are here on IJ, some have both. Should I continue friending them in both journals? I guess I will. It's just very tedious.

Also, when friending in LJ, I always posted a comment in their journal that I friended them, thus giving them the option to friend me back so I can see their locked entries. A few of the locked journals on IJ don't seem to give me that option. If I friend someone on IJ, do they see it and then friend back or do I need to notify them somehow? Or are they automatically friended both ways?

Next, I need to see what my options are on customizing my IJ. Any suggestions? It is a free account, so I now I am limited. I will play with it some tomorrow night and see what I come up with. But for now it is almost midnight and I have a headache and I have to work tomorrow. Bummer.
