Just Journal Developer Blog

I've been looking into improving the experience on Just Journal. I've found a number of bugs in the site that I want to fix.

1. The new blog search only works when you're logged in. (in the blog not the site search)
2. The journals are a bit cluttery.
3. There are problems displaying the calendar on dark themed blogs.
4. If you haven't posted a blog entry in the current year, the /calendar link causes an error.


I've made several improvements recently. Site search is working along with private searches in your blog when you login. The version I'm testing also includes a link to an ATOM feed which you can use now. Goto the RSS feed and replace rss with atom. For instance, http://www.justjournal.com/users/jjsite/atom We don't have a post/service interface yet, just feeds.

Just Journal was upgraded today to a new development version I've been working on. This release fixes some of the search bugs (I don't know how though) and cleans up the interface used by many of the functions in the Users servlet. It might be a little slower, but it's much cleaner looking.

I've also had some success hosting just journal as a war file on my Mac.
