I'm not a huge blog fan.  Every once in a while, just to be contrarian, I think about doing periodic .plan updates, just so I can tell people who ask if I blog that they'll have to finger me to find out!  Bwahahahah!

Now i'm tempted to figure a way to stick my latest LJ entry into my .plan.

Fragile :)
It breaks as soon as he changes layout/format. Or at least has the potential to break - some layouts don't even use the div.

Splitting the RSS feed is the way to go.

my $content = get("http://livejournal.com/users/ronebofh/rss");

Then split on "", chop off everything after , de-htmlise as you do, and you're good to go. Though I'd run it through HTML::Parser to expand the entities rather than trusting to  , and I'd use an XML parser anyway.
