Frequently Asked Question #263
What are the Plus Account benefits? How do I switch to or from a Plus Account?
Plus Accounts provide access to LiveJournal's extra features for free, subsidized by advertising appearing on the LiveJournal system pages and the account holder's journal. If you have an Early Adopter or Basic Account, you can upgrade to a Plus Account now.
After trying the Plus Account, you may want to upgrade to a Paid Account for access to additional features and higher limits. If you switch back to your earlier account level, your access to Plus features will change.
