Happy summer...let's get down to business! NEW! SHARING! Now you can share public journal entries and discussions with others who may be in need. We've added simple links to EMAIL something to a friend or post something special to GOOGLE, YAHOO, FACEBOOK or other popular sites. NEW! TAGS! Now, you can 'tag' content on the site that you find inspirational, moving, helpful or creative. It's easy - one simple click is all it takes. Very soon, we'll be showcasing content so that you can easily find your way to great posts that can really help. NEW! BETTER ABUSE REPORTING We've added 'report abuse' links throughout the site to help us and our members more quickly respond to any issues. WHERE'S YOUR VIDEO JOURNAL? Ok, they're not new, but you've gotta see what our members have been creating. We've got amazing singers, helpful overviews, and emotional stories. Our advisors are also contributing. It's just a wonderful way to create a record of your life and your challenge. All you need is an inexpensive webcam, so get started today! BETTER HELP! Have you checked out our HELP pages lately? They're chock full of information if you get stuck, and we try to keep 'em updated with every new thing we add to the site. COMING SOON...! Some big changes in store over the next month...wish I could tell you more, but I've promised to keep my trap shut for now. Stay tuned! A few other important items you've asked about: PRIVACY Given the personal nature of DailyStrength's content, some of our members are concerned about posting content on the Web. Some important notes about privacy: 1) We STRONGLY encourage you to use an anonymous username that does not include your first or last name 2) Be SMART about posting personal details on the site. We're all about support and love at DS, but it's always wise to think before sharing. We do not recommend sharing phone numbers or personal addresses. We also do NOT permit members to solicit money or commercial products - please use the 'report abuse' link if you see anything funky. 3) Here's a reminder that we've recently added a new feature so that you can limit access to your journals to "friends only" or "private". 4) We will shortly be adding more privacy tools, and we are constantly pursuing the right balance between personal privacy and deep support for each other. CHAIN LETTERS - Please Read I'd like to kindly ask all of you to refrain from sending out messages to a large number of people at one time. Many of our most valued members, who are here to help all of you, are getting swamped by hundreds of Internet "warnings" or questionnaires each day, which can interfere with the personal nature of what our user-to-user messaging is for. Thanks for your understanding. 100,000 MEMBERS! Thanks to you, we've just reached 100,000 DailyStrength members. You've given out more than 1.5 million hugs and posted over 500,000 messages of support. Each day, we get notes from folks telling us that the DailyStrength community has become a home, a shoulder that they can cry on and a place to turn to when they feel lost. We just built the software - it's you, our members, who provide the love, advice and compassion. You're saving lives - literally - and we thank you for it. “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”    -  Maya Angelou Hope you're having a wonderful summer... Doug and the rest of the DailyStrength family
