Journal Subscriptions and listing?

[Luufie]

I love the journal feature! I just wish there was more to it. Wasn't there an old journal listing before, as well as a subscription feature? I cannot find it anywhere if it's still here!

I would like to see more done to the journal in general really. More customizing options, a daily journal feature (y'know, a featured journal for the day like the old Profile feature thing), bring subscriptions back if they were taken down, as well as the old journal listing! Y'know, whenever someone updates their journal appears at the top of a "latest journal update" list. Oh! and another idea, maybe a journal link exchange option. Exchange your journals with other Gaia users. 3nodding Blogging groups sounds like fun too, even though that kind of defeats the purpose for guilds, but not really if it's just meant for blogging.

I got to leave for class, so I won't be able to check for responses until 2-3 hrs from now.

Subscriptions still exist.

Also, there is a latest updated journal list, too.

Personally, I don't feel a need for journals on Gaia to be overly customizable or heavily promoted, not when there are already numerous other sites out there dedicated to blogging. Seems like Gaia's staff could spend their time better by developing the features unique to Gaia.

All sorts of journal options are available here. It's one of the dropdown links from the pencil icon on your My Gaia page. Subscribed Journals may be one of the default quick links on the footer, but if it's not, you can add it.

I wouldn't mind seeing Journals expanded upon and promoted better, and I'm sure it's on the developers' list of things to do, but apparently "core features" of Gaia are their priority this year. So maybe in the future...

@_@; I swear I'm blind as a bat. Thank you very much for pointing it out <3

Anyhow, I don't mean to say let's have them overly promoted because of the same reason. Although since Gaia does have a journal feature, I think there could have been a bit more done to it. It's so plain and simple compared to their other features. It's like saying, let's not overly complicate the profiles for Gaia because there are websites such as Facebook and Myspace, but they made profiles a big part of Gaia anyways. Having a journal is almost an extension to these profiles. It's not like I'm saying let's have them a big focus like LiveJournal, but work on them a little more to make them stand out along with the other features of Gaia. In other words, to me, Journals are so hidden away on this site. I hope that made sense. o_o;
