AMEN!

Fight the power! Or something like that! Er... yeah I messed that one up didn't I?

Make a Blogger.com journal! I love them and you don't need to know much about html. But if you do and want to edit it (I have links to good html sites), they have it so you can edit ALL of your html codes.

Look into it, it's a great place. I'll link you to mine:

AND they help to keep out comment spam all FOR FREE.

POSTED AT SMOKE AND MIRRORS:  
If the banner Ads are not removed from our journals, I will be moving my journal to another forum.  This is disgraceful.  Why is it that you haven't even addressed this issue on this journal?  Don't you understand?  Don't you get it?  Unless you take down the Ads, nobody is going to care what you have to say here because WE ARE GOING TO DELETE OUR BLOGS AND MOVE ELSEWHERE.  Look at the top of the blog--it says "YOUR THOUGHTS/YOUR BLOG."  NOT those of some mortgage company or skin cream.  Honestly, does AOL not understand a single thing about why people keep journals?  Can AOL not understand why we don't want our intellectual property sullied by those hideous blinking corporate Ads?  How crass.  http://journals.aol.com/theresarrt7/TheresaWilliams-author/
