Well, kind of. Obviously, there's no rule about what you can post in your journal or your weblog. But I think that it is true that, for the most part, weblogs tend to be more commentary-oriented. (Some examples: The Daily Kos (http://www.dailykos.com/), Electrolite (http://nielsenhayden.com/electrolite/), Not Geniuses (http://www.notgeniuses.com/).)
So, just out of curiousity (I am not a native speaker, hence my original question), theoretically it would be more appropriate to write my short stories and columns elsewhere and leave the more personal accounts over here?
Dr. R has the right of it, I think -- LJ lends itself to more personal writing, comments for friends and acquaintances.
I split my writing between LJ and weblog because I wanted features for my commentary that LJ just didn't support, like trackback ability to other posts and the like. On the other hand, if I want to talk about personal stuff, LJ allows me to restrict those posts to friends' lists if I prefer.
It's not a hard-and-fast rule by any means. But that's how it worked out for me, and looks like Dr. Rivka came to many o the same conclusions.
Congrats on a successful launch, Honored Colleague! *delights*
