Wow! this is much larger and more complicated than I had originally thought it might be. I am intrigued and very much interested in learning my way around.

?????
Can others read my journal? Can I delete a journal entry or guide entry I post? I will probably have more ????? later.


Thanks

You can't edit Journal Entries. You can remove them from your Personal Space, though, by clicking the appropriately named 'Remove this Journal Entry from my Personal Space' link, which appears next to Journal Entries. This doesn't completely delete it - it remains as one of the conversations in your journal forum. If you later decide that what you've written is actually worth keeping, then you can reinstate your Journal Entry to your Personal Space. But even by removeing it - anybody that has posted to it will still be subscribed to it and may continue to post to it and you wouldn't know!
So really you can't delete them, just not look at them yourself.

Anyone can read everything you post, including your journal. Anybody who has added you to their friends list will automatically get your journal entries on their message list.

Guide entries are easier - those you can delete by editing them and deleteing all the text or by using the delete entry button.

Any more questions, let me know!!

I cannot get the GuideML to work for me

what particular problems are you having?

Before you can do anything you need press on 'guieml' and then "change style" so that your page recognises you are using it. You will find these under the white text box .

A690518 explains it very well and isnt too complicated!

Mostly I am having problems with the it is very frustrating and I am sure i did not leave one out I spent 20 minutes going over the thing to ensure I did not yet it refused me saying I had forgotten one very frustrating

also I edited out my bibliography and yet it still appears :?

On the whole, most guide ml closing tags are not although the common exception is (line break). It is called a self closing tag as it opens and closes in the same tag.







etc

The reason it kept saying you had forgotten one was because it couldn't recognise the closing tag for the

Until you can update your page the changes won't be made.

Check the closing tags and see how you get on
