#5  well, I'm glad it's just a translation thing :-)

Just FYI, we don't call them livejournals as that would imply that the alternative would be your deadjournal ...I'm thinking the more accurate translation is your life's journal.

Not trying to be rude - your english is excellent.

#4  Aargh. I often mistakenly use "last" when I mean "latest", because in Greek the same word is used for both.

#3  As I write in my last entry to my livejournal:

are you about to die? You can't leave without saying goodbye...you will get stuck in purgatory until you do.

#2  AFAIK, the Google search engine doesn't care so much about how often the site in question uses the word in question, but rather how many links using the word lead to said page.

As I write in my last entry to my livejournal:

Reclaiming A Word:
----
The word "Jew" has been googlebombed by an anti-Semitic group which wants its definition of "Jew" to be the first that shows up on a websearch. If you would like to combat this, please link to the Wikipedia definition of "Jew". Your link tag needs to include the word "Jew" in order for it to work.

#1  I won't dignify the named site with a hit to check, but if they are hardcore anti-Jewish, they probably use the word "Jew" all over their site.

That alone should be enough to attract Google's attention.
