The astute among you – and those who don’t visit the DearDiary Homepage, probably should once in a while 🙂 – will have noticed a new menu option on the front page, or indeed any page of this diary, notably ‘Forum’ Yes, I have introduced a discussion forum to the system. Your normal login name…
If you’ve recently requested your diary be migrated (since we moved server) OR, you requested a migration before the move but didn’t get the e-mail until after the move, your diary almost certainly has ZERO entries, ZERO comments and the migration although it migrated your username did NOT migrate your diary (at least not properly)….
I have updated Deardiary.Net to allow posting using the Atom and XML-RPC protocols… Blah blah I know 😉 suffice to say, you can now download the WordPress app from the iPhone app store and manage your diary with it. The URL should be simply http://www.deardiary.org and use your normal username and password. If you have…
There is a feature of WordPress which I consider to be a bug. I’m tempted to raise it as such with them, but I’m seeking clarification at this point.

If you’re struggling with the new system, not realising how much you can do with it, then fear no longer. One of our users (MissTick) has posted some tips and tricks and I just felt they really needed sharing! At some point we will come up with some video tutorials which cover how to use…
I’ve also changed the Design Palette to be under the DearDiary menu in the admin section instead of under the Genesis menu. So if you’re used to it being under the Genesis menu, I apologise 🙂 It’s primarily because it’s more of a DD customization now and is obviously used to change how your diary…
I’ve switched the DearDiary.Net main diary ( this one, which you can get to by clicking the little DearDiary.Net… text in the top left of any diary ) to use the Genesis framework. In this way, I’m able to take advantage of all the goodness that is Genesis for this diary too. It was kind…
Plus Account expiries on the archive system have been run tonight. If you are a Supporter on the new system but the old system has expired you and you wish to keep on using the old system too, please let me know. You do NOT have to pay twice, but the old system will not…
