Features
Open Diary allows users to create diaries that are public, private, or friends-only. Within a diary, individual entries can also be public, private, or friends-only, if the level of overall diary privacy allows it. Users can post an unlimited number of entries in their diaries.
Diary entries on the site accept user comments, which can be linked back to the noter's diary. Notes left on diaries can be public or private (only visible to the entry author), and diaries can be set to accept anonymous notes from people outside of Open Diary, or from members only.
The Diary Circles feature provides a place where diary entries of a similar nature can be posted together. These circles are linked to the Open Diary Boards, a message board component that was added to the site on April 27, 2006.
Entries recommended by Open Diary users are listed on the Reader's Choice page. Users can create a "favorites" list bookmarking other diaries of interest. They can add a list of "interests" to their profile, and search for diarists who have expressed interest in a particular topic.
Open Diary also provides a free email service, which is not limited to Open Diary members.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
