The way the diary is at the moment, I don't find it very interesting.
I think you need to allow replies not only to get feedback and support from others, but also so everybody who wants to have a diary can use their own particular thread that they can use over and over again.
This way the diary has continuity and that makes it more interesting.
When many people have their own diary thread and continue to share and express themselves on it, then it is better for real friendships to develope rather than going to the networking section and say, "I AM DESPERATE FOR A FRIEND - WILL ANYBODY BE MY FRIEND". It is kind of loud and too direct. Friendships don't happen that way. One needs to get to know people by sharing and relating - and then you think about whether you would like to be their friend or not. Yea?
What do you think?
