I am pleased to announce:
As the first upgrade to the messages system you can now have your site based post it messages auto forwarded as text messages to your cell phone. To add your cell phone number and carrier simply click on the mini green cell phone in your control panel. After that any messages sent to you on the site using the new post it pad, should be automatically forwarded to your cell phone via SMS. No more waiting for messages, you can now get them on the go. Please keep in mind that cell phone messages are generally limited to 160 characters and we need more people to test it out. Also, the message sstill remain on the site so that if there si any problem you can still retreieve them

Under no circumstances will anyone get ahold of your cellphone number. The site simply forwards the message along without the end user ever seeing your number. Similar to the way the email system works.

I got an email from alt press today asking for a link to their site. I really like their publication so I added it to the homepage and the news journal link list. They had also posted a link to our site a while back.

The best part is that we share a vision of offering avenues of publication that are alternative to the mainstream media.



So, if you haven't already seen altpress, check it out at

Where can altpress be found?

I have moved all the contact links AIM, YIM, email, and the new messages under the userpic. This will make it way easier to contact people on the site.



The old enmail link has been replaced by a blue mailbox, the post it allows readers to leave you a message. It is kind of like a comment but it is not associated with any particular journal and only you can read them! So I think I have satisifed everyone there.

Right now you can turn this feature on and off in your preferences and you can read and delete messages by clicking on the post it note in your control panel. If you roll your mouse over the post it, it should report how many messages you had the last time you loaded the page.

I will be updated the system shortly to include IP blocking, message forwarding, group (farm) messaging, etc.

I fixed the prev and next buttons so that they actually work again. Now you can surf and journal from the beginning to the end.

I redid the chat so it auto refreshes every 20 seconds. this way when you are writing for a long time, etc you can still see hwat other people are saying to you. Apparently, it works because I noticed poeple chatting with it throughout the evening. The (more) version refreshes every 5 seconds. The minichat won't refresh if you are typing or scrolling. The (more) chat won't refresh if are scrolling either. no more quick peek, lol
