On my way up the hill again thinking about this journal, the new journal I have been playing around with Tinderbox and I just don't like the look of it so I am now thinking of actually building a complete website for this journal and that decision is based on the fact that I want to experiment and play with tromp l'oeil in relation to web stuff and I want the journal to look and feel and operate like a proper three dimensional object but be shareable over the web. I realise that my web building skills may not be up to this so I am going to pursue my other research topic as it were which is to try and work as much as I can with drag and drop and to that end I have bought a copy of Rapid Weaver and I am going to spend a bit of time trying to customise that to see if I can make it look how I want it to look and then I am going to have a web address so I will have to think into that one maybe I should set a site up with Cherry just to explore, I could talk to her tomorrow when I see her, or possibly it could be part of iWeb another section of that but we will see, I haven't got that far yet.
