Heh. Okay, here's a quick way to learn how to friend. See those little head and shoulders people beside each of our names? Click on that.
That takes you directly to the poster's user info page. There's a little bar with various icons close to the top of the page.
One of those icons is another little person with a + sign.
Click on that. And then follow the prompts. (Add user to friends list? Yes. There's other options with work, family, etc, I never use. and then some kind of okay thing at the bottom.)
Then you've got a "friend"! Heh. (And probably veterans will have simpler ways to do this). Heck if there's a little person at the top of this posting where the heart and pencil and things are, you can use that. I don't see one, but I might not be able to since it's my journal.
What this means is that you don't have to search for people's individual entries all around the internet. On your page is a "friends entries". If you click on that, you see an index of the most recent lj postings by each of the people and/or communities you have listed as "friends".
If you go to my main lj page http://aurora-novarum.livejournal.com you'll see the option "Aurora's friends" as one of the menu listings. Click on that, and you can see my friends page. I belong to a couple of communities, and have some individuals as friends. I scan through and if there's an entry I'm more interested in, I may read more or comment. (For example, I usually don't look at the Atlantis fic things on my stargateficrec or stargatefic because I don't read in that fandom, but they still show up on my list).
Looking at "friends" you know have similar interests to you can help you find other places you may like to go. LJ is kind of this insular internet. LOL

Helpful, or did I confuse you more?
