The Journal Newsletter
Introduction
Welcome to the Autumn of 2013! This is my favorite time of year: colorful leaves blowing in the wind, cool days under warm sunshine–when it’s not cold rain under gray clouds–and I like that too. =)
The latest update of The Journal 6 streamlines (and fixes) the topic feature, making topics much easier to use. There are also some other neat additions (and fixes). See “The Journal News” below for all the details.
This month’s tip introduces the new, simpler way to wrap text around pictures in your entries, and, as always, we have a couple new writing prompts.
Thank you for choosing The Journal!
