Hi everybody, as I posted in the Journals Message Board, the new Guest Editor's Picks are up on the Journals main page, so please check them out.
Our Guest Editor this week is Paul (owner of Aurora Walking Vacation, Cowboy Poetry and other blogs.)
Paul is also Canadian, which explains all those funny date formats and strange spellings you'll see throughout his Journal.
Here are some of his top picks:
- Simian Farmer
- Point & Counterpoint
- Slack Back Mack
- Dust Bunny Club
- Dribble by Chuck Ferris
- In the Shadow of the Iris
In other news, we're supposed to be getting a widget for the Journals main page that will show you a listing of all your Journals (it's a control panel, similar to the one on hometown.aol.com), but it keeps getting held up in production. Stay tuned.
Lastly, as I mentioned in the headline, I'm putting on my Expressions hat and calling out for ideas for blogging Buddy Icons.
Since the Buddy Icon format is so restrictive (animated GIF, 48x48, under 5K), I'm thinking some sort of logo image with some sort of slogan, such as:
- I have a blog and I'm not afraid to use it.
- Back Off...I Blog
- Hey Baby, What Are You Blogging?
- and of course, the straightforward "Check Out My Blog."
If you have any suggestions, leave a comment or send me an e-mail at JournalsEditor@aol.com
That's it for now, have a great weekend. -- Joe

"Blogging is beautiful"???? "Blog or bust"? "blogging and proud"

http://www.blogstickers.com/sticker_page1.html has a bunch of cute blog sayings.. not sure you could use those but I like to use them as blinkies sometimes.
Much Love,

I like the first option for the Blog Icon, but I don't see it animated, that size in pixels, or total kb size. That is, in fact, a challenge! :)
Failing that miracle, the last one bugs me now. It should have me jumping into fits of uncontrollable syllabication in a few weeks of being online-and that sells!

The widget sounds interesting. I'd love it if it would show all the journals I get alerts for. I'd also love it if my alerts list was CLICKABLE. I add a journal to alerts and all I see is the name of the journal. No URL or SN of the owner. You may be the wrong one to ask, but I would love that.
As for a Blog buddy icon...I have a shirt that says "I'm blogging this..." or how about keeping it simple with just "Blog This!"
I love the idea of us finally getting our own icons. Hmmm I like your ideas, if I get a moment of genious I will email ya.
