Livejournal private posts.
Has livejournal.com ever had problems with its "private" entries? Like... has it ever had technical difficulties which resulted into them being shown public?
I have some really, really personal entries that I wish to put on private but I'm a little hesitant on doing so because I don't want to take a chance in them being revealed. I don't want to have to create another journal, I wish to just simply have one journal that contains public posts as well as a few private posts.

Speaking as an LJ user... I don't believe so. There have been problems with _friends-locked_ posts (have you heard of the Frienditto drama?), but private-locked, no.
That said, just be careful. Potentially anything you put on the internet can be accessed or hacked into. Usually the leaking of private information is due to poor security practices by the user rather than technical glitches (not to deny that they don't happen though!) -- such as using easy-to-guess or 'dictionary word' passwords. LJ can also be set to make it more 'private' -- make sure your LJ can't be indexed by Google, for example. Pay careful attention to the security level set to each post also -- friends-locked is very different from private-locked.

Livejournal looks secure, the easiest way for someone to get your private enteries would be to have your password.... otherwise, if you do them right, I doubt people could read them. Just to be sure though make a 2nd journal.

I had a live journal. I had the same worries you did, and they were right. I got rid of it because everyone was reading my private entires. I think to be on the safe side you should just keep a notebook or something to use as a journal. Hope I helped
