Resized Journal Box
The scrolling journal box's height is now based on your screen height. I was getting so annoyed with the tiny box on my big screen but I didn't want to make it big for everyone. Well now its customizes to your screen size. Tell me if you have any problems. Hopefully, this will end the complaints about the tiny box.

Advertsing with chalk sidewalk drawings
I have been thinking about ways to advertise the site and yet maintain the target audience we want. My newest idea is sidewalk advertising all over elmwood with a chalk medium. Any of you artists want to collaborate and make our online community grow. Maybe Jill?

Click-publish box fixed
I fixed an bug where the click-publish box published your journal but kept the information in there when you got returned back to it.

Sorry for an incovenience or confusion this may have caused.

I added the Click-Publish Box
There is now a click-publish box on your journal when you log in. This was Terry's idea and I really like it. It allows you to quickly write a journal entry when logged in, without having to open a pop-up window. It is also great on the sidekick.

Wikipedia defines Social Networking
The Wikipedia defines Social Networking as:

Social networking describes the process of connecting individuals via friends, relatives, and acquaintances�a person�s �personal network.� These networks can then branch out and allow friends to connect with people inside their accepted social circle, allowing for a perceived greater sense of security, compared to someone perceived as being anonymous and random.

Social networking has emerged as a phenomenon in 2003, allowing the newly-populous Internet to serve as both a buffer and a safety net for introduction to friends by friends once possible only in person.

This type of social interaction on the Internet is a logical extension of the blog and Instant Messaging phenomena: blogs allow for a more community of personal inquiry and thought while IM systems allow for only accepted users to chat. There are hybrids, however, such as the concept of FriendBlogs, which combines social networking with blogging.
