Journals

Ever wanted to keep a private journal with just a few friends?  Or allow other people to write to your journal about environmentalism?  Now you can!  Welcome to Sosauce's Group Journals!   Co-Author and Share a Journal with just a Few Friends :   Let's say you joined the Peace Corps and upon returning to the US, you want to keep in touch with your closest friends.  You want to share your intimate thoughts, feelings, and lives with one another but with no one else.  All you need to do is create a private Group Journal on Sosauce. (Note:  Group Journals are a premium feature)   To create a private Group Journal :   Let's first create a new journal. Mouse over Journal in the Header at the top, and click on New Journal Book.   Then, click on the A New Group Journal button.     Once you click on A New Group Journal, you'll see:      Let's give your Journal a name, and you can write some optional descriptions for your journal cover as well.  Select the Journal privacy, which is default public for everyone, and then click on the green Add Contributors button at the bottom.  In this case, you'll want to change the privacy from Everyone to Private.   Now you can add your friends on Sosauce to co-author this journal with you. Simply begin typing their names in the text box.     Notice the "Invite more friends to join?" link?  This is useful if you have friends outside of Sosauce that you want them to join your Group Journal.  From here, you can invite your friends via Facebook, web mail addressbooks, and email address.       Once your friends join Sosauce through your invitation, they will automatically become your friends on Sosauce, and you can then add them to your Group Journal.  Easy enough.     Once you add your friends to the Group Journal, they will be notified via Sosauce Updates and email.  And you will be taken to the place where you can start writing your entry.  Now you and your friends can write, read, rate, and comment upon entries in this journal.  Enjoy!   To write in a Group Journal created by another friend :   Go to your Group Journals page from the Header. This is how:      Click on the Group Journals link and you're there.   Then, find the Group Journal you want to write to, click on the orange Pen Button on the right, and you're all set to start writing. That's it!  Have fun with Group Journals, and if you have any questions, check out our Help section at the top of the page. If our Help section isn’t sufficient, use the Feedback link at the footer and shoot us a question.  We’d be happy to help!   Enjoy Sosauce Group Journals!
