If you had to do it over again from the beginning, what
would you change?
I would have learned HTML (if I had time then), and built a better site. I have built better sites since, but for the same info.
Do you have any favorite entries?
The very last one - but it only has value if you read the journal first.
What do you look for in an online journal, as a reader?
I look for truth and heart.
Do you use your real name in your diary?
Yes
Do you censor yourself in your diary?
Nope
Do you ever use fiction techniques such as imaginary dialogue?
Nope
Do you ever significantly edit/rewrite past entries?
Nope
Would you describe your diary as traditional, essay, novel, rant, letter to someone, a theme journal, or something different?
Traditional, I guess
What is one word that would describe your diary's content?
Love
As an online diarist do you consider yourself a Web celebrity, an exhibitionist, a public figure, a writer, an innovator, or something different?
A concerned daughter, who really loves her Dad, and her family.
How do you tackle the mechanics of Web design and how do you deal with your frustrations when you can't do what you envision.
Well, I didn't bother when I built the site - you'll notice it is a wonderful example of poor site design - but I've gotten better since.
Why do you think people are interested in what you have to say?
Because when there's a diagnosis like my Dad's in any family, the questions are really universal, but in my experience, no one says them aloud.
What compels you to design beautiful
pages and to write from the heart (beyond just the usual question of why an online journal)?
I just wanted to put my expereinec out there, so anyone with the same questions would have the reference I so desperately wanted when I was in his/her shoes.
