Can I please make one minor critisicm??

Ok will do it anyway!!!

I'm really not keen on the new smilies and it takes too long to access the others. I don't think the new ones are emotive enough, like the big cheesy grin or winking smilie we had before. I know they are still there but it takes so long to access them!!!

I agree with you and Harwood Red. I'm not fond of these new smilies either.

The old ones are still there but maybe we could have the best of both worlds and keep the penguins but not have them prominent and have the old ones back in the side panel.

That's the best option willow, I like the ease of just clicking on any smilies on the right and only ever venture in the more section when I need different ones for special occasions, like birthday's etc

I did re-read some of it today. Boo-hoo, I've not slept. This disease is a nightmare, and then there were the name dropping entries, listing people I 'knew'.

Some of it was funny though, and did make me laugh, and self amusment is such a nice quality to possess.

I have blogged anonymously on a site, these past two years, and it did allow one a certain freedom to be more...graphic, but I do miss my old journal on here. It was like a diary, but it spoke back to you.

Therein lay the problem. It wasn't a private diary. One in which I could air all my family's linen.

Time to shut up waffling, or this post will look like a blog entry.

I've not had experience of blogs, either on here or elsewhere so I'm not having a go at you, merely asking a question.

I was under the impression that a blog is supposed to be read by others so what's the point of writing a blog that only you can access on a forum?

You might aswell just write in a diary at home if there's only you reading it.

Thanks for putting the old smilies back, Roy.

I've written a diary every day since I was seventeen, that was until having Parkinson's made that physically impossible. I used the blog on AW as my own diary, and mentioned private family things that were happening at the time, that I shouldn't have.

Ah right. Thanks for that. I understand now.
