Site tour

So, [personal profile] sophie and I are sitting down to work out what the site tour should consist of (bug 209) and I thought I'd open it up to [site community profile] dw_docs -- what kind of things do you think should be highlighted in the tour?

This should not be a "what's different from LJ" -- it should be a feature-based "what makes us a good place to be". (We'll do a "switching from LJ or other LJ-based site" Guide, as well as a "switching from Wordpress", from TypePad, etc, etc, all as separate documentation.) It can reference our ideological differences, but for this part of it I want to concentrate on features.

Those are things that are also true for LJ, but if you're trying to get people who're *not* from LJ, that might be useful:

- comment threading
- neither blogging not social networking, but the best of both worlds
- WTF
- highly customisable experience (lots of settings, journal layouts)
- possibility to post locked content
- Free vs Paid vs Premium; while you do get less stuff with a Free account, it's still quite decent and usable
