Hearing Broken Drum -- Beck


Journals Editor Joe has up an entry that catches you up on the next round of additions to the AOL Journal client, including the ability to blog about an entry on someone else's Journal with just a click of a button, and the ability to track who is linking in to a particular entry (boy, that's going to come in handy for me). It also gives folks the ability to alert AOL about potentially troublesome Journal entries, which could get be a mixed blessing if people decided that someone being snarky about someone else needed direct AOL intervention (it usually doesn't). I sense I will be talking to all y'all about the best use of that particular feature sometime in the near future.

In any event, these new additions will be coming soon -- probably in the next week -- so head on over and find out what's going to be new on your AOL Journal soon.

  wow, a 'blog about this entry' option!
  It kind of takes all the fun out of creating a blog just to blog about another's....believe me, some people out there have that much time on their hands....sad, but true.

  Now that "Notify AOL" is coming, I may as well wish you all the best...because I'll be gone in about two weeks, even with the Sports Desk running interference for me. I've truly enjoyed writing my blog and reading everyone here.

  The magazine at www.yall.com is spelled "Y'all."  
  
  Jess is right:  it's a contraction for "You all," so the apostrophe correctly falls bewtween the Y and the A to indicate the location of the missing letters.
  
  I'm originally from South Carolina and now in Virginia...I know my southern contractions! :)
