My mission statement for The Journal 6 was: “The Journal, Even Better!” I wanted to make The Journal easier to use, while also adding some powerful new features like synchronizing and indexed text searching. Work on The Journal 6 began in June 2011 while my wife and I were waiting for our 3rd child to arrive. He was late, but was eventually induced to make his appearance. Which appearance then seriously slowed The Journal 6 development for a while. 🙂 But now The Journal 6 is ready! See “The Journal News” below for all the details.
We have another set of writing prompts, and we continue our exploration of The Journal’s powerful “Search Entries” command.
Happy birthday to all of you who share June as your birthday month! The Journal turned 16 years old this month, making it my second child now old enough to drive. =)

This month’s tip is a quick tip about hiding and un-hiding category tabs. In nearly 17 years of using The Journal, I’ve racked up 100+ categories. The only way that works is that I don’t have all of those category tabs visible all the time. Here’s how to do that. 🙂
I hope everyone had a great February! Mine’s been busy (the baby is beginning to crawl everywhere and pull up on everything that offers a handhold), but great! =)
