Excellent work Taz!Now we can write and share our experience...kinda fun though...
I am intending to start the huge uphill struggle of bringing all of your old journal entries up to date for the new system and then crossing them over.
... Just so you know I'm working on it and if all things go well it should be sorted come Sunday.
As Quenya and Sindarin are Tolkien related, they are acceptable; however, we will rely on the honor system for those who use those languages and that anyone who abuses the privilege will be reported to the Council by their peers via PM or email.
I've posted Tommie's problem under Taz's To-Do List under Website General Discussion.
Gotcha.

It's cool. Thought you might say that.
Does the rule apply to Elvish too?

Thanks for your efforts on making an excellent and HUGE site about Tolkien, and thanks for the new tolkienist journal...
Funny little thing I've noticed: on the page where all the journals are listed, you can see the correct date on which it has been writen. But when you open a journal, it says: "written on" and there you always see today's date.

Oh well, never mind. *bye for now*
Can I make a journal in another language (say, Dutch)

It's just that's it's the text of a song, and it's in a sort of dialect which is rather hard to translate.

Just a question. It's all right if I can't.

We asked members to use only English on the forum Tommie, because we cannot moderate something we cannot understand. Because the journals are being endorsed by us as family material, the rules concerning the journals are the same as for the forum.
The language journals are to be written in isn't something the Council has discussed, but bearing in mind what I have just said, it's likely should the topic be raised, the answer would be English only please.
I'll check out what the others think, and get back to you on this one.

It's all right really. I though that would be the answer. No problem. I don't think there are that many Dutch speakers here, anyway.

I've had a word with a few of the others, and whatever rules we have on the forum apply to the journals too.
