API update
Still not enough of you are taking advantage of the API. The API is a simple site extension for those of you who are web designers. It allows you to make your own site on any php enables server and have the content, userpics, stats, fav five, etc from your journals delivered too it. In this way you can simply upload media, write text, change you fav five and userpic at the site. And this could be replicated on your own site.

(e:soyeon) , this is totally for you. Here is an example page I made at my globat space using the API. It is not hard to use. (e:twisted) is also using th API for a site of her's. If anyone has questions about this please email me.

Improved Navigation and Gallery Mode
I have revolutionized site navigation with the control bar at the top right of the journal. There is now a camera icon between the nav arrows <--10 cam --10>. Even (e:soyeon) should be happy now.

The <--10 and --> arrows go back and forth, ten journals at a time. The camera switches to gallery mode. Gallery mode allows the user to view the journal as just images. If you click on any of the images, it takes you to the entry that it was contained within. From there you can use the <--10 and 10--> arrows to move around. At any point when using the gallery function you can switch back to journal mode, by clicking on the red x camera icon or by switching journals.

I also update dthe email the user page. I moved the link to right under the user pic so that it was easy to find as requested. The link also opens in a popup box and closes when you click send mail.

By the way I love my new camera icon. I hope you enjoy it just as much I do, you can thank Cinema 4D ver 9, it was the last usage before permanent my switch to maya. I will be adding a help link with a searchable help index in place of the old gallery link in the main bar. It is not complete, but the link is already there.

I also added a new icon for the preferences. All of the control panels hav been redone and open in little popUp control panel windows. This is the new preferences icon. It is very tiny in the control panel and replaces the old # icon.

New Navigation Feature
Inspired by (e:soyeon) 's incessant hints about the problem with the previous ten being at the bottom of the journal, I ended up moving it to the top and adding a next ten button too. Now you can move forward or backward ten journal entries at a time with the click of a button. The buttons look like the number ten in a box with an arrow and are located at the top right corner of the journal.

New Updates and Preferences
(e:j3sse) made a request for a new preference to have the publish box closed by deafult. So if anyone else wants to use it, it can now be found in your preferences control panel ( the # in your control panel.) I also redid the add more upload entry spots on the publish form. to add up to five media files, just click the "Num Files ++" button and it adds entry slots without having to refresh the page like it used to.
