Very nice, it could be a great resource for roleplayers (but then I'd remove the 'uber l33t' line, heheh).

I'd like to mention that the navigation through the journal entries didn't feel too easy. I'd suggest adding a link at the bottom of each entry to show the previous one, for example :)

Good luck with your site!

Thanks for the feedback :)

So you were using the real time slider above the journal, but you thought that a previous and next link placed somewhere would help the navigation?

If so that sounds like a good idea.

Oh! OK... I actually missed the slider... I was using the links on the right side (the archives). Now I notice the effect on the picture when I slide and it's super cool, but I think you could maybe make it stand out more somehow, I totally didn't see it.

Also, the slider is a bit far from the text, so I'm not sure I would have related it with the journal entries.

So, I guess I'm trying to say that you should show off the cool stuff a bit more so silly people like me find it easily :)

Yeah I was worried that people may not see the slider. I am glad that you think it is super cool, so do I :)

I will look into ways to make it more noticeable.
