Exciting news, guys. I am introducing Journals to theseducers.com. Other boards have sub-forums for keeping user journals, but to me using a single forum thread to maintain a journal has always felt... upside down since online journals are typically read newest entry first like a news site. Cliff's List has a blogging feature that works somewhat like this.
Then again, there is still a desire to keep your forum posts as part of your personal record. You want to be able to view your story in one post, but you'd also like to put up your field reports or thoughts in with the main forum.
Well, after some work, I've managed to integrate both "blogging" and "forum posting" into a user journals at theseducers.com.
You can now post a journal entry that is independent of the forums. Alternatively, when you make a forum post there is now a check box that will add that particular forum post into your journal. Thus, your journal is a compilation of journal entries and selected forum posts.
Additionally, you can protect journal entries to be friends-only.
Hope you get some mileage out of this. I know I'll be using my journal. In fact, this post is a part of mine
.
Your own journal is viewable at theseducers.com/journal/uid/me and a compilation of everyone's journals is at theseducers.com/journal. Individual user journals are at theseducers.com/journal/[username]
