Check
out the links below for an historical tour of the earliest journal uses
of then considered "NEWLY DISCOVERED" journal functions !!!
i've
decided to add an editorial comment, for journalers who believe that
we've always had the ability to add images in the text area of journal
entries .. it just ain't so !!
the actual credit for using an animated gif IN the text area of AOL Journals is squirrelygirlie4 on September 5, 2003
i remember running around J-Land (long before it was called J-land lol) and finding her entry where she had an animated smiley in her journal entry .. believe it or not, that was something that had NEVER been done before
both Vivian and i emailed her, wanting to know how to recreate her discovery in my own journal .. i emailed Vivian (one of my cohorts in Journal Beta) asking if SHE had any idea how to get animated text into a journal entry
it turns out that squirrelygirlie4 had copied the animated smiley from her email .. the gif actually "belongs" to AOL and is stored on their servers somewhere in cyberland .. a few days later .. after numerous experiments trying to duplicate the animated gif in a journal entry, it was discovered that using HTML code, it WAS possible to link to an animated gif in the text area of journals
the rest as they say, is history !!!

calling one helpful html expert please

animated smiley faces
not being content with simply being able to add animated gifs, i needed to find out WHY, so i elicited the assistance of Mr AOL Answer Man Scalzi to see if HE had any idea why .. here is his own journal entry outlining the NEW discovery !! :Pictures in Your Journal -- A New Way
from there, different journalers discovered how to remove the extra html coding that was added and how to remove the annoying blue border that was appearing around the images
