How do I start a journal?

[jjs1971]

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if someone would be able to tell me where people start a journal? I have seen people write about their journals, however; I have not seen a specific place for them. Thank you!

P.S. To all of you "seasoned" Atkins dieters...thank you for referring me to Linda's web site. Wow! Great recipes!

Re: How do I start a journal?

You can start a Journal as a thread under the Miscellaneous forums/Journal Stats or Journal Chats here on ADBB. There are two types: Journal Stats (which don't get commented on by anybody other than you in your journal) and Journal Chats, where other people can comment in your journal.

Welp, depends on how public a journal you want...

Follow this link to start a journal chat. Folks from ADBB will read the journal and leave encouraging words... it's pretty cool.

Atkins Diet - Blogs

Follow this link to start a blog. It's just as public as a journal chat, but doesn't seem to me as many folks follow the blogs.

Follow this link to start a blog that allows the user to adjust privacy settings. The blog can be set from somewhat private to totally public RSS feed (like sending it out on a news ticker). Nevertheless it's on the web and hardly private no matter what the settings promise.

As to private journaling, I really like this software. It's not freeware... but you can try it for free for 30 days. I keep it on my laptop, the file password protected. I don't like the idea of leaving a notebook around for others to "find" and read, so the encrypted file seems next best choice. Also it's small enough I can install it on a thumbdrive and take it with me.
