2:11 PM - Development progress

I've been working on some of the outstanding bugs in Just Journal.  There is a list of bugs on the source forge page.  I've closed a few in the last two weeks.  Today, I'm about halfway through fixing the comment notification bug.  There are cases where comment notifications do not get sent.  One reason is that the mail server I use requires authentication.  I've just changed the mail sender code to use a username/password combination from now on.  That should solve quite a few problems. 

It also brought up another problem.  Settings.  Just Journal has a Settings class which is rarely used.  In fact, I never populated the database with values for it.  I'm working on integrating that feature with the settings database.  This should allow me to change the behavior of just journal while its running.  (except mail settings will require a reload of the web app) 

This is a large step toward my goal of getting just journal to run on any website or server.
