I have found an alternative that is much better than what we have now. In fact it is a full featured blog with all the features you might expect in blog. It is currently in alpha testing and will be available in September. This on will cost me $$ while the previous journal was free, but I think it will be worth it. In more good news, if you already have a journal, I should be able to automatically transfer your content to the new blog.

I'm continuing to prepare the website for the upgrade and the website may be coming down around noon today (CST - in about 3 hours). It should be back up tomorrow, but could be unstable at times for the remainder of the week.
