I'm intending to have my weblog be more focused on commentary about ideas and current events, and my journal to be more focused on my own life, my thoughts and feelings, and social interactions with my friends.
The weblog is still going to be very much filtered through my opinions, but I'm intending it to show more of my public face. Hopefully it will be interesting to people who don't actually know me.
Lots of people combine both journal and weblog functions on one site, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. But for me, I've found myself reluctant to post straight-up commentary in my LJ because it doesn't fit in so well with my usual posting style. Contrariwise, I might want people I know through a political organization to see some of my political posts, but not want them to see my personal angst. That's why I want one of each.
