Essentially, you create the journal, then you can start posting to it.  Also, please note that there are 2 types of journal, those that are public, and those that are private.  The private ones won't actually show up in the list, and the ones in the list you see with no entries are just empty, nobody has posted to them yet.

I am a large to extra-large fan of the journal provisions of this site.  However (and I risk making this comment as I have not started a journal of my own), I have noticed an interesting anomaly. 

There are a number of journals with no entries but which have been viewed a number of times, eg (and only the example because it's the first one at time of writing) - Foxy's Journal, that has no entries but has been viewed 86 times at time of writing.

As stated, I am speaking from a position of ignorance (what's new?), but surely one must post a journal entry in order to create a journal?  Or is the viewing for some journals restricted in some way? 

I, of course, may have succumbed to the urge to look at journals with no entries listed, and often wryly chortle at the interesting social type experiment it's created - kind of like touching things with a "wet paint" sign attached.

Can someone please clarify if this is just a misperception on my part (in my Wizz Fizz induced haze) or a fair dinkum let's go a waltzin on ya bike three hail Mary's just one of life's quirky things to live with - like that milkman that always came to visit.
