I’ve been working on the ability to allow non web based clients the facility to interface with DearDiary. Thanks to a portable API developed at other ‘blogging’ sites (notably blogger.com) which lots of Windows client software now uses and some hard work on the backend I can now announce that DearDiary supports the Blogger API….
This subject comes up occasionally, and I’m just going to re-iterate what has been said before… We will not be deleting old diaries unless the author specifically asks us.

I can hear the screams of horror already that people don’t want to put their private email address onto their diary, and they won’t have to….
I am presently working on a new ‘friends’ system that will ultimately (and fairly shortly I hope) replace the current Notification System. The idea is pretty simple, you can assert yourself as a friend of a diarist, and at that time you will be able to state whether you wish to receive notifications or not….
