I've kept a journal since high school. I've written throughout my college years and even after I came out to the real world to work. I don't call it my diary because I don't write it every day. I write whenever I have something to say or whenever I'm bored and have nothing to say. Some entries simply recount what I did that day; some entries are just pure random thoughts. I've always enjoyed writing, or in recent years typing. However, since blogging came into existence, I do my journal entries online instead, on this very blog.
I joined Blogger and had this weblog since June 2003. A whole 8+ years! Wow! I still remember that when this all started, Blogger only provided 1 template and we couldn't post pictures. Now, we can change the templates as often as we wish, attach pictures, videos, links, etc. I've been OK with this blog site but there are definitely things I wish it could do:
(1) let me create separate tabs. Sometimes I think how nice it would be to have a separate tab just for my Sarah entries...since she is the subject of most of my blog now!
(2) let me password protect selected entries. For most posts, I don't mind if everyone (yes, including strangers) read it. But there may be some posts I want to keep some privacy. Right now, I don't have the option to lock-in selected posts. It is either private-protect the entire blog or nothing.
I know these are 2 things that WordPress allows you to do. So sometimes I wonder if I should switch over to WordPress... but looking back at the entries I've made here & the history, I voted against it. I just wish that someone who works for Blogger can make these enhancements so I can continue to blog here!
