Certainly we could think about allowing each person his or her own forum, but in my opinion, when I've seen it implemented elsewhere it looks like a gawd-awful mess, and it's difficult to follow.various people wrote: I'd like to keep a "journal" or thread where I can document day by day progress, events etc.. But, again, it seams inappropriate to start that thread in the General Discussion section of this site.
Although I'd love to keep everybody posting on this board, I'd like to point out that message board platforms aren't necessarily the best medium for daily personal journaling. For that, there are a number of free web logging (yes, "blogging") options.
That said, most of you already know about Keyheld, the blog aggregate that Dev and I set up. Keyheld, is a nice link to remember (or bookmark) because by checking it once or twice a day, you can easily follow the newest posts without having to click through a few dozen links each day to see what's new.
We have about 40 blogs listed, all sorted by the most recent posts at the top. If you have a Gmail account, then you can easily register a Blogger account and start journaling. Contact me, and I'll add your blog to the Keyheld list.
