For those of you who wanted the online journal back, I have some good news!! I was able to FINALLY finish debugging this module today and it's working like a champ. Unfortunately I wasn't able to save the old journals from our old system a few years ago, but, this new system will continue to move forward with any future modifications to the website. Rest assured you won't lose your journal again because it's now embedded into our database and will be upgraded every time the site goes through a change. (our old journal was a totally different program and had to be upgraded separately)

Anyway, the new journal also supports embedding images and most HTML code for those of you who want to edit your stuff offline and then upload it. Killer, eh?

One more thing, the journal supports PRIVATE entries or PUBLIC entries. If you want to keep personal notes to yourself or let the entire world know about your smut... it's all up to you.

Have fun and, like always, let me know if you see problems in the journal area. You can find the journals by clicking on it from the Main Menu.

Mike, are journals readable by non-members? If so, I might consider migrating my cars' web page to the journal, where it would presumably never go away, even if I changed ISPs or sold the cars to get into something else. But since my web page was created solely as a way to let family members keep up with my car habit, it would have to be visible to the outside world, not just to members here.

Yep, they should be visible to everybody. I can control the permissions for every module on this website. But, you also have the ability of creating personal or private journals as well as public ones.

Can you try testing the migration of at least one of your pages to the journal? I'm curious to see what you think about the setup.

I imported my last page, mostly by copy and paste. I stripped out the javascript first, changed the css, img and href paths to go to my full site, and didn't paste in the headers, meta data, declarations and suchlike.

Seemed to work fine...

Edit: - After looking it over a bit, I don't think the journal would be able to replace my regular website, but it's simple enough to use that others may be able to quickly blog short updates on it. I like it! I'll continue to play around on it for a while, just for fun. Maybe I can write up a short users guide for it.

Maybe I can write up a short users guide for it.

Please do.

Sweet deal, Arne. It looks great!
