Hearing Pretty Pink Rose -- Adrian Belew
Your "Add Entry" Buttons
I'm getting a particular question a lot again, which is usually a sign of new AOL Journalers being added to the mix -- whoo hoo! We like the newbies around here. The question goes like this:
Hey! What's to keep someone from fooling around with my Journal with all those "Add Entry," "Edit Entry" and "Delete Entry" buttons lying around up there on my front page?
The answer: The simple fact that no one else can see those buttons on your Journal but you. AOL make the editing buttons visible to the Journal's owner to make adding, editing and deleting easy to do. But just as your other AOL settings are customized to you, so are these; when someone else comes to visit your Journal, those buttons are not accessible to them -- just as, when you visit this Journal, you can't access my buttons.
That's right, don't try to push my buttons! 'Cause you can't! But then, no one can push your buttons, either. At least the ones on your Journal. That's a start.

Too Funny...
I had to come, from the alert, just to check. Sure enough, no buttons to push; I'll just have to find "other ways" to go there *wink* lol! This is the first I've thought of it. My curiosity knows no bounds!
Dodotedo! <...Did that work?
Good Day to you John. Thankx, @~barb~
