Hey
folks,
A very gorgeous Friday here in Northern
California. In fact, we have had spring weather the last week or so and
I am enjoying it. Hope you all had a good Valentine's day. We have
quite a few blogplugs to get to. Let's go get 'em.

the idea of putting aside one single day of the year to celebrate
love.

aloud about the consequences of taking shortcuts
in life.

narrates an excellent story about hot
chocolate, a metaphor for
life.

not doing justice to this entry, it's just a beautiful
read.
* Krissy is
disappointed that the party
that she was throwing for her husband John, had to be postponed,
because of a snowstorm. If only you had moved it to California
:)

the loss
of her sister. Our sympathies are with
you.

a hilarious tussle between man and
cat.

observations about boys and girls (the furry kind!) and a

* The
Chat team is aware that the single sign-on does not work on
the "Journals Chat" page when you use a standalone browser (works from
within the AOL client). So, you have to sign-in again on the Journals
Chat page. Apologies for the inconvenience. They promise a fix by the
1st week of March (their next
release).

interesting (or useful) blogplugs, send your submissions to

Do you ever visit any new journals? I believe the same journals are highlighted week after week!!!! (not that they are not good journals, in some cases great journals...) Come on - get out there and find some fresh stuff! As my buddy Dan from Slapipions suggests, try out the "just published" selection. Maybe you ought to pass off the "blog plugs" or a "blog jog" as we use to call it, to the members also.
Hi Mary (Alphawoman1),
I do not "select" the entries listed in blogplugs. These are entries (not journals) submitted by journalers who tagged their entries with the tag. "blogplugs".
The idea of blogplugs is to enable a blogger to submit an entry they want to share with the broader community. If you (or anybody else) have ideas about how we can improve the discovery of good journals, leave a comment here or send us email.
