And using WordPress as a journal offers so much more flexability than any ($$$) software that I can think of that is out there. All my entries are catagorized in a database that I can manipulate and format in any way that I feel would be useful.

Yay. ??

I just wanted to add that XAMPP is PERFECT. Just what I’ve been looking for. I had it downloaded, installed, and wordpress up and running within literal minutes.

Perfect! ??

Good point guys. It *is* a publishing tool .. ?? I checked out the local software available for journaling/etc, and it was sorely lacking, but I guess the best option is to set up some sort of local set-up on the machine I know I’ll have everywhere: my laptop.

Excellent point about the whole lack of privacy online too… there’s always a hack…

Thanks also for the tip about LAMP/XAMPP too. I’d never heard about XAMPP before and it looks like it might be the kind of installation that would be useful to me in more ways than just the one I’ve listed.

Thanks again for your help!
