Title:
Make the landing page after you post an entry be more useful

Area:
entries, landing page, usefulness-a-go-go

Summary:
The landing page after a user posts an entry should have more information on it.

Description:
The landing page after a user posts an entry should have more information on it. Right now, it says the following:
Your update was successful. View your updated journal.

Crosspost requested to zarhooie@LiveJournal. You will be notified in your Dreamwidth Inbox if this attempt fails.

Now that you've posted, you can:

View the entry
Edit the entry
Add the entry to your memories
Edit this entry's tags

It would be better if it said, "Your journal has been updated with the entry titled, 'Suggestions.' It will be posted access-only, the icon tagged, 'D on Yarn' was used, and it was tagged with the following tags:"

Or something along those lines. I usually double-check my entry after posting for those few things, and it'd be nice if I didn't have to do an extra click to make that happen.

Drawbacks: It will put more information on the page, and while I personally find that to be a good thing, I'm not sure everyone will. Also, it is possible that it could cause first-page syndrome, depending on the length of some of the variables. It shouldn't on my netbook, but it could on a mobile device.
