Spell Check seems to work on all systems
I just tested it on my brothers iBook and it seems to work now. Please check it out and email me if you have any problems. Make sure to include your platform (linux, mac, or PC) and your browser in the email.

Image Library Beta - Check it Out
I have added the Image Library (beta) to your control panel. You can now view previously uploaded images and add them to new journals by simply clicking on the thumbnail image in your image library.

To use it, go to your journal and then click on the "Image Library (beta)" link on your control panel.

Check it out and if you have any questions email paul. When I get a change I will update it so you can delete images, as well.

At this point, it only works for images uploaded after March, 2004. For images uploaded previous to this time, you will have to wait for the update or email paul.

Currently, you can only use it to view images from your own journal. it does not yet work with the news journal.

New Spell Check Feature
I have added some spell check functions, which will check your journal entry for spelling errors.

You can use the spell checking functions on the site, pre and post journal publication. In order to use the spell check function on an unpublished journal, click on the spell check button in your journal entry box. This will bring what you have typed, up to that point, into a pop-up window for spelling correction.

The other way is to spell check a journal entry after it has been posted. In order to do this, click on the pen icon at the bottom of any of your journals. This will bring you to an updated update screen. It is updated to display your journal entry with media and links at the bottom, so you can see what it looks like while editing, without having to switch screen back to your journal! From here, simply click on the spell check button to spell check that journal entry.

Once you click on the spell check button using either method, a window will pop up with a spell checked version of your journal sans media and links. If you click on the yellow highlighted errors, it will pop up a window which first looks up the misspelled word on google. If no suggestion is found on google, the system searches locally for a similar word in the local dictionary.

You also have the option of adding your word to the custom dictionary. Please only add words that you feel really need to be in the dictionary, as they will show up in the dictionary for everyone else.

You can also access the spell checking functions of the site by clicking on the new spell check link on your control panel.
