Since I can't afford Manilla, and can't get my hosting service to let me install something like SLASH or Scoop, I've been forced to roll my own solution. OpenJournal, now that it offers the ability to have more than one editor, suits this purpose - more so after I did some tweaking to include icons (relevant to the topic, etc.).

I understand your reluctance to do this - especially if I'm the only one requesting it - but it seems like OpenJournal is moving from a personal journaling system into something more. The addition of multiple editors is in line with this.

anyway, thanks for responding.
