Generally I don't go out and read other character journals but I do post my own here and there on the lodestone (give it some form of a use.. besides that I would never log into it). I don't worry too much on the fine details like date or whatever or really say too much about my character that isn't common knowledge. Though my journals so to speak are set up more as inner thoughts as I don't really have a character type that would be willing to write a journal or care to bother with it.
That being said I do tend to fall behind on my entries but I'll spend a few hours at some point and catch up on 2-3 of them and call it a day and finish the rest later. This way its not a chore to me like I don't hope off rp'ing and go write the entry. I like letting the events sit in m head a while so I can mull over what my character really thought during it. Granted most of the time she's more complaining that some of the others she deals with gets into too much trouble and why they have to drag her into it.
These entries can give out a bit too much information I can admit that by skimming over entries of others... but its all in the person who reads it to be honest. As a rp'er you should be able to read something and not act like you know such information IC'ly. If anything maybe it gives you a reason to seek out the said character and try to tip toe about to get that conversation to strike up.
Though I normally go by the motto if you are enjoying what you are doing then keep doing it and to heck with what others say or think.
