Personal LJ page, or friends-list only?

[tzikeh]

I know lots of people have links on their lj's "homepage", for lack of the correct term because I don't care, to other fun sites and stuff like that. But as far as I can tell, most people don't visit other people's lj's homepages - they only read their own friends list (or sometimes friendsfriends).

My friend esorlehcar has a huge list of time-wasters linked from her ljhome, but I wonder if any of you have ever noticed. And I linked to the VividCon website and to my "100 Things About Me" lj entry from my ljhome -- but I wonder if anyone but me ever sees them.

Do you guys ever visit the ljhomes of your friends, or do you stick to reading entries on your friends page? Do those side-bar links serve as anything other than a set of handy bookmarks for the owner of the lj?

I tend to check out lj homepages when I'm looking for a specific post by a specific author, or seeing if a new user is interesting enough to friend. Otherwise, I stick to my friends page and treat the sidebar as handy links for myself.
