I think I've finally figured out one of the questions I need to ask in order to work through the next project bit I need to do:
So, you've loaded the update page and you are about to write an entry. What steps, and in what order, do you do it in?
For instance, for me it's:
1. Pick journal to post to.
2. Write entry.
3. Pick subject.
4. Add tags.
5. Change comment settings if necessary.
6. Pick security level if other than default.
7. Preview, if there's anything more complicated than a few links.
8. Hit post.
9. Immediately view entry to make sure it isn't fucked.
(You'll notice the lack of 'pick icon' or 'add mood/music' -- I never do.)
What's yours?

Read entry again, delete half of it and rewrite.

Swear profusely when there's nothing applicable.
Go on (often extended) hunt for perfect icon.
Upload icon.
Come back.
Select icon from dropdown.
Say a quiet "fuck you" to tags.
Edit privacy (sometimes I do this before I write the entry if it's a sensitive entry).
Pick a mood.
Change my mind and pick another mood.
Change my mind AGAIN and go back to the original one.
