bubbleblowerI'm thinking of using this account for a journal to more or less replace the present Silicon Soapware. This is a test of how an entry might look.
I'm drafting this as a text file, but plan to paste it into a journal entry in the default HTML format. In most cases (except for poetry and such) the exact placement of things like line breaks isn't important. What matters is the content.
The text file format was originally designed for monospaced text-based terminals that use 80-character lines. The screen on a phone or similar device is much narrower than those old CRT terminals. This makes a mess of things.
You might be able to turn the phone sideways so it switches to Landscape mode, but even then you'll probably also need to set the typeface to some itsy-bitsy eensy-weensy size that is likely to be hard to read unless you have itsy-bitsy eensy-weensy eyes (see http://www.well.com/~bubbles/Poetry/LittleTeenyEyes.txt).
I'm also thinking about whether and how to do the copyright notice and any other such administrative info that may be necessary. Do I want to append it to every entry, or just post it as an entry in itself every so often, or what? Put it all in one entry and make it sticky? I may need to think on this some more.
