Ironically, I got this from a journal whose settings have it so it's hard for her to let new people into her lj circle. Ah, the irony.
Chances are people you don't even know are being introduced to your journal every day, either randomly or through someone else. In addition to recent entries, people can get to know you better by what you posted in the past. With that in mind, post a link to your entries on this day exactly six months ago, nine months ago, a year ago and 3 years ago. If there was no entry on that day, link the closest date.
( Six months ago )
( Nine months ago )
( A year ago )
( Three years ago )Why not just two years ago?
