New Users Note

If your diary exists and contains links to businesses, and appears to have been setup purely for business purposes, it’s not welcome here. This is a diary site. Not a blog site. It’s intention is for you to chronicle your daily life and let others share your experiences. I don’t know how to be any…

Preview Mode

I have been working on something behind the scenes that I suspect some of you will find rather useful… It’s called Preview Mode. What it means is that you can switch Preview Mode on and any changes you make on your diary will NOT be visible to your visitors. So you can play around with…

New Menu Option

The keen eyed among you will have noticed the slight change to the menu system at the top of the DearDiary Homepage (the one to the right of the large DearDiary.Net text).

The URL should be simply http://www.deardiary.org and use your normal username and password. If you have…

I’ve become aware, through someone disputing the automatic spamstatus of their diary, that there’s an expectation from this site that business should be allowed to use the site for commercial reasons. Ironically, the reason the owner gave for disputing their spamstatus actually confirmed they would be using it to create spam… But I digress. Here’s…

Adding Friends Easily

I have created and uploaded a new feature yesterday. It was pointed out to me on the Facebook group that it was quite difficult to determine who to search for because usernames don’t really feature quite as much as they used to in the old system. In the old system, one diary was associated with…
