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:
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“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)
