Advanced usage:

Yii::import('ext.livejournal.*');
$post = new ELivejournal('username', 'md5_hash_of_the_password', true);

//Use the following line if you want to update an entry by id
//$post->id = 2;

$post->subject = 'Subject test';
$post->body = 'Hello, <b>world</b>';

//Entry's time will be 'now' + 1 week
$post->time = time() + 60*60*24*7;

//Entry's tags will be 'red,green,blue'
$post->tags = array('red','green');
$post->addTag('blue');

//Entry's properties from http://www.livejournal.com/doc/server/ljp.csp.proplist.html
//current music
$post->setMetadata('current_music','Muse - Butterflies and hurricanes');
//Comments will be disabled
$post->setMetadata('opt_nocomments',true);

//Entry will be visible only for friends
$post->setPrivate();

//Turns on \r and \n removing from the entry's body
//Sometimes it's useful because LiveJournal.com translates new lines to <br>
$post->setDeleteNewLines();

if ($post->save())
{
    echo "Entry's id: ".$post->id;
    echo "<br />Entry's url: ".$post->url;
}
else
{
    echo '<b>Error (code '.$post->errorCode.'): </b>';
    echo $post->error;
}
