I may try that to see how it works for me. It appeals to me because of the search functions. Some for the blog journal. I'd like to know how your wordpress private blog works out. Thank you for taking time to share your good practices. Ulla,

For that I use paper and pen, and I do it usually either in the morning or in the evening. The other one is online (I am using the possibility with wordpress.com to have a private blog). This is more reflective - what goals do I have, how do I get on with them, and things like this. Shari,
