I just realized that this experience is pretty different if you're an
LJ user or not an LJ user (I'm in the latter group).

For non-LJ users, there are search features and discovery features
to help you find interesting journals.  These features are simply
turned off, not displayed, and/or broken if you use the HTTPS rule.

LJ users don't need these features because they can find journals
they care about via links from their own profiles.

Both groups can read journals or posts once they've found them
because those are on separate subdomains, without HTTPS.

So it makes it hard for non-users to find things that they're
interested in but doesn't actually prevent people from reading the
site contents.
