Ideas

["Gillson, Bryan (IBK - LA)" <bryan_gillson@exchange.ml.com>]

Hi Brad.  After using LJ for a bit more time, I've got the following
suggestions:

1. Provide an HTML "preview" feature for posting via the standalone apps.
This could be as simple as using your existing preview feature from the
web-based update screen.  In other words, there would be a "hand off" from
the app to the web update system.

2. Perhaps this already exists, but allow a user to set his own style that
overrides other users' formatting.  My sister has very low vision (legally
blind), and it would be nice to provide a white text on black background
style with very large text so she could read my journal, without having to
set that as my style.

3. After commenting on a journal entry, it would be nice to have a link that
returns you to that person's journal.  I find myself commenting as I go,
then having to hit "Back" twice to get to where I left off.  Small, but
equally easy to implement.

4. Is there a "suggestion box" that these should go to?  I checked the home
page and the support area, but didn't see anything prominently displayed.
Maybe this should be highlighted somewhere (if you want suggestions, that
is!).
