Blogger.com really only likes the long posts-- trying to squeeze a linkblog in, too, is very awkward (eg their rss doesn't reposition my linkpage to the top even if I re-date it). I can't remember if there was journaling software like LiveJournal in 1997, but blogging software has never really been optimised for anything but journaling. Del.icio.us is actually better for linkblogs but I haven't seen anybody promoting it for this.
