Hi Myrt, and welcome!

To start a journal, go to the Journals / Bootcamp section of the forum, click on the green "New Thread" button, give your post a title and write your first entry. Click the "Submit" button, and Hey Presto -- you have a journal! From then on, every time you post on here, your posts will have a "journal" button in them and it won't be long before others will be visiting your journal, and getting to know you!
