questions about lj clients

[norwich36]

What are the advantages of having a livejournal client, besides the ease of seeing who has recently friended/defriended you? Are there any clients, for example, that make linking to other journal entries easier? Are there other benefits?

Also, an unrelated question: is there any way to search the rss feeds available on livejournal, or is an alphabetical list the only option?

i've used Semagic from the beginning at my main journal (over 4 years). it's a wonderful utility, even though i don't use all the bells & whistles. i code by hand, e.g., for simple things like links and photos, which is sort of flat-earth of me.

what i like best about it is the ease of editing past posts, and the way it functions as a dandy little word processor.

i have no experience with RSS, sorry.

Well, I probably should have downloaded Semagic *before* my whole recsfest, because typing out all those damn lj codes by hand was a pain. But thanks for letting me know about your experiences with it.
