Hello Journal!

Good news everybody! Journals are now enabled for all user accounts! The term "journal" from slashcode likely pre-dated the term "blog" commonly used on other popular sites (like Blogger, WordPress, and Tumblr) and, therfore, I've decided to keep the retro-sounding name. Similar to the venerable slashcode journal, the Pipedot version allows you to write your extended thoughts and post them in the familiar story-like form – complete with comments and community moderation.

Another cool feature of the journal is the built-in photo support. You can upload photos and attach them to your journal entries without having to rely on an external image hosting service. As an example, I humbly present "Crabby":



My Dad snapped this little guy's picture on the dock of our fishing cabin at Port O'Connor, Texas.

Is there a reason beyond that the word conjures images of something brown at the bottom of a toilet bowl?
