Are journals private? And why is a Reference required?
#1 - when I create a "Journal" entry within YouVersion - is that always private, or is it viewable by others? I did not notice a "private" checkbox.
#2 - why is a Scripture reference REQUIRED when writing a journal. What if I just want to write down some thoughts that aren't specific to a given passage?

The Journal is always private. When making a contribution you can choose to make it private as a personal reference only.

If you mark them private they are only visible to you.
YouVersion.com exist for scripture engagement which is why a reference is required.

But there is no option to check a "Private" box in the journal. There is only that option in contribution creation. -
And also why is a reference required for a journal? If you want to write something about a verse privately why don't you just make a private contrib'? And let the journal be for actual journaling?

Inappropriate?Will, I guess that's what I was saying - I just put Gen 1 as my reference when it's not specific to a verse. But there is no "private" box and I am assuming that a "Journal" is and should aways be a private entry.
I logged out and surfed my profile and searched keywords from my journal entry, and didn't see it ... so hopefully that's ok. -

Tony, I am also trying to make a Journal Entry. I have entered a Scripture Reference, but it will not accept it. I entered 1 Peter 5:8-9, no good; then entered 1 Peter, auto entered by the system, but not accepted by the system.
-
When entering a reference you can do any "Book Chapter:Verse-Verse". Each verse must be indivdually entered.

Inappropriate?Tony, thanks man - I was pretty sure of that, but couldn't find it anywhere in the help area ... was at IHOP in Kansas City after the National Worship Leader Conference and was journaling away in YouVersion in the prayer room.
BTW - I was on the panel for New Media, and taught "Worship + Web2.0" during the classes this past week at the National Worship Leader Conference, and your name came up over and over, LifeChurch.Tv is the standard, God is using you guys tremendously ... getting kudos from all sorts of people. To God be the glory.
Just followed you on twitter @fmckinnon and facebook. Check it out, and thanks for the response.
