AOL Journals: Magic Smoke

Hey folks,

I've got some special blogplugs. Remember to tag your best entries that you want to be included for blogplugs. Looks like I have a good handful of plugs:

* I Stand Corrected spills secrets that witty writers use in their works. This is a shared Journal so, there's multiple authors that contribute, too. 

* Williard gives us a dose of his experiences with Brain Tumors. From the treatments to medical reference, he covers it all.

* Dana posted an inspiring video for our military members who couldn't be home during the holidays.

* (Not a blog) AIM Chat has now opened up the Political Caucus Chat. Discuss the results, from Obama to Huckabee and every candidate in between.

* Karen provides her response to the Weekend Assignment #196, regarding the WGA strike and how it affects her as a TV viewer.

* Beth has breaking medical news [satire], which can only be remedied by watching re-runs of "I Love Lucy," "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and "Bugs Bunny" cartoons.

* Val posted her Photo Scavenger Hunt which is due on Sunday, with the subject being "New." You still have time!

* Bucko really dislikes hypocrites. Find out why ...

* Sugar wished everyone a Happy New Year, with a posting seven minutes before the end of last year!

Thanks for the variety of the blogplugs this week, Journalers. Also, catch this week's Guest Editor: Krissy. If you want to be a Guest Editor or have some interesting (or useful) blogplugs, send your submissions to JournalsEditor@aol.com and we'll review them.

Have a safe and relaxing weekend!

~ Joseph

  Oh gosh, I would love to be able to save my blog.  Please consider this possibility.  Maybe you could do a poll or something asking how many people want this feature, or post an entry asking for comments on if we want this feature.  I have wanted it for years, and know many with AOL journals who have as well.  Please consider it.
  
  And speaking of things we want, please keep Open ID in mind.  I would love others in the larger blogosphere to be able to comment in my journal.

  Hi slapinions,
  
  We have considered both options:
  - Ability to export your journal
   Although, we do not offer a "save" option, we do offer atom feeds, which can be imported by other blog providers. You may not be able to get the comments though.
  - Printing your journal
   This is a nice option, but we haven't received too many requests for it, hence it never makes the final cut.

  Hi, I think I asked this once before - but is there any plan in the works to provide a means of saving and printing our journals?
