These days the Internet is full to bursting with journalling, diary writing, and blogging sites. If you haven’t come across one, you will almost certainly have read about them in your newspaper or favourite magazine. Many of the weekend papers carry lists and reviews of favourite online journals. On the off-chance you haven’t heard of this phenomenon, this is basically how it works.

My account has totally custom designed HTML, Javascripts, and graphics. It took some time to learn enough to code it myself, but that was half the fun.
