I simply don't have the time right now to give the Journals the upgrades it deserves. Once my research project is complete, though, I will rewrite the Journals! (And this time it'll include half a pony!) If you'd like a Journal on this site, please drop me an e-mail and I'll send you an invitation code. :) Thu, 16 Jul 2009 11:22:54 +0800 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/?showid=19719#19719 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/19719 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/15117 Here's the final set of changes to the Journals; for more information, check out Journals Beta Features. You can now change the location of a page in the Page EditorThe social networking sites you enter into Your Profile will now display in your FOAF file.Updated many of the editor pages to the new style, and added some new functionality to a lot of themWhen you Signup you will now get a prettier e-mail :)Fixed quite a few bugs, including (hopefully) automatic loginOnce again, I expect there will be a few minor problems around, but just let me know about them and I'll fix them right away :) Tue, 26 Jun 2007 07:13:50 +0800 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/?showid=15117#15117 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/15117 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/15079 Lots more changes, and I don't think I'm exhausted yet! By default, entries will stop accepting new thoughts after 3 months. This can be changed in your options and disabled in individual entries.Made server passwords and automatic login more secure. Existing auto-logins will no longer function & you will have to login again.Finally, you can upload images directly from the "Insert Image" link in writing new entries, without having to go through the rubbish of Image Editor > Refresh > etc...New image thumbnails are now centered, instead of squished - they look much better.If you set up your last.fm account in your profile, while writing an entry, your current music track should update automagically. (Buggy)Started a rewrite of some of the pages - for a sneak peak, look at the beautiful new signup page and how it works.Layouts now default to the newer "Relaxed Style". If your journal has suddenly grown borders, or the layout is all broken, follow these steps.There were dozens of ot...

So far, the biggest changes are: Writing entries and pages now have a pretty graphical editor. Try it out and tell me what you think!You can now add tags to your entries, which are displayed in the signature, and in a box on the right hand side. Some older templates may not display the tags list, and will have to be updated first.There is now an "entry archive" box, where you can browse through your entries by year/month.I've changed all the user URLs on the site.I expect there will be some weird problems, so let me know if you find anything odd. Hopefully I can continue my work on the Journals in the next few days, and finish adding the other world-domination features ;) Mon, 11 Jun 2007 21:59:25 +0800 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/?showid=15063#15063 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/15063 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/14945 Along with a rather large selection of bug fixes, I've added the style from to the layouts page, called "Relaxed Style". The best feature of this style is you can load it, and then use the colour editor to change the colours yourself. I have also revamped the colour editor, now it looks much better! You will also now receive e-mails when people add you as friends.

The problem has been identified and we are working with server staff to resolve it shortly. :) Edit: This should now be fixed. Thank you all for your patience :) Sat, 02 Dec 2006 20:59:16 +0800 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/?showid=14347#14347 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/14347 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/14013 Ok, there's a lot of spam on the Journals these days. What would you prefer as a solution?

It is a free site which can use the power of last.fm to find music events happening in your area which you might be keen in! Try it out and tell me what you think ;) Tue, 12 Sep 2006 20:57:50 +0800 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/?showid=13898#13898 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/13898 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/13669 ;D Thu, 03 Aug 2006 10:51:06 +0800 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/?showid=13669#13669 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/13669 http://journals.jevon.org/users/server/entry/13617 Apologies for the recent errors of 'Cannot find user $'. It took a few weeks but it's finally been tracked down and shouldn't happen again.

You can login with your Journal URL into sites which support it (e.g. LiveJournal) - Your journal will display a big "Create a New Entry" link when you're logged in - When writing an entry, accidentally pressing "back" should ask for your confirmation that you want to lose your work - Added Spell Checking for writing entries - this is experimental - Journals will display an RSS syndication link in compatible browsers. Also, three new RSS-based widgets have been developed - Added a Layout Editor, which lets you load other Journal layouts easily. One layout that exists is a fully XHTML-compatible layout! - Much work has been done on the Music Wiki - Various other changes Everything should work fine, but write a thought if something is going weird. Also, how well does the spell checker work?

It's available in your Colour Scheme Editor. - I've also moved most of the help files over to the Music Wiki. What else should the Journals feature? I'm looking for submissions of ideas. Head over to Journals Ideas and write down what you'd like to see put in. I'll go through them all.

What this now means is that you can fix up lyrics yourselves, and add new songs when you want, since anybody can edit any page on the site. All the old lyrics have been copied over already. You can read more about how the site will work by visiting the music lyrics site. I've replaced the Syndicate link in the top bar with a link to lyrics; you can still go to syndicate by visiting here.
