New Title Color to Indicate Day
If the journal has an orange title, it means it was written today. Whenever you sleect a journal from the list you should always make sure that you check all of the orange titles. for example, I wrote about four things on the news journal today, so all three of them will have orange titles.

New features for Data Lookup Links
Today I am introducing more e-features in celebration privacy invasion. Just kidding, but it doesn throw a new twist on data mining.

If you would like to link to a buffalo or surrounding suburb street map location simply click the mapquest link in your style box and type the street address into between the map tags. You must use a full street address. For example, "230 Lexington Avenue" (MAP TO: 230%20LEXINGTON%20AVENUE). Do not add city, state or zip, or apartment number information. This is great if you are having a party and want people to know where it is or if you are going to an event or bar and want to put a map to the location. For example, last night we went to Squeaky Wheel and it would have been convenient to add a (MAP TO: 175%20ELMWOOD%20AVENUE) so other people could have gone down.
