While a preference post is good to see for reference, most players I have tagged don't bother, unless they use the journal for specific types of memes (so a preference post saying "I do not play [ship]" in a journal commenting on a shipping meme is important, for example).
It also helps for a journal to be set up with some kind of basic information. I don't need a huge navigation and pages and pages of stuff, I don't even mind if it's in the default layout. But things like the character's actual name in the name field, rather than some quirky one-word username in Latin or whatever, will make it more convenient at first glance. Using the Captain America example in OP, when people dump countless journals with Chris Evans as a PB on a meme, I'd like to know for sure that I am tagging/was tagged by Cap and not Evans in another role. Plus, as above anon mentioned, effort put into doing up the journal suggests effort put into playing the character.
