What do you do about the joints?

Make features of them?

Or make grooves, and fill the grooves to hide them. You'll still get
cracks showing quite quickly, though.

use a mesh tape, it allows the filler to go through but helps prevent
cracking. Did you use square edge or recessed/tapered?

Use self adhesive scrim tape over the joints, then cover the tape with
board jointing compound - feathering the edges.

I did a small stud wall this way, and the joints are completely invisible.

Assuming the board is screwed to studding, you also need to use jointing
compound over the screw heads.

only if you're using non-plasterboard screws, and if the OP were he'd
be skimming, since they make such a mess of the board.

This ceiling is in my workshop so I don't need it to be skimmed. I just
want to paint it white to help with keeping the place bright.

What about Brown Gummed Paper Packing Tape http://tinyurl.com/5w38bgy
this will cover the joints and screws, then just paint over.

Opinions?

I put filler in the joints, then lining paper over the whole thing**, then
painted over the paper.

(** probably the wrong thing to do, nevertheless that's what I did and it
seemed to work out.)

That's a standard method used in garages etc. The downside is in time
it peels - but its very easy to patch if/when it does.

It will start to peel off as soon as the water in the emulsion soaks
in.
