<p>Add first news article</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>OpenJournal is now live!<br /> <br /> I first imagined a world of open blogging a few weeks back when I stumbled upon OpenStreetMaps due to my love for climbing.<br /> <br /> It was Saturday morning, I was mapping out a route to a particular bouldering spot I wanted to try when I misclicked and went into somebody&#039;s OSM profile.<br /> <br /> There I saw &quot;User diaries&quot; and thought &quot;Oh cool, it plugs into some other diary-based wiki, nice idea&quot;.<br /> <br /> What I didn&#039;t realise is that it was all baked into OpenStreetMaps, no flexibility and not fully open. From then, I started brainstorming and looking around for things that did scratch the itch of a fully free (as in freedom) blogging system that was distributable and decentralised. Surprisingly and disappointingly, there was none.<br /> <br /> I triple checked thinking surely someone had thought of this but no, I found something that someone hadn&#039;t done, a rare thing. <br /> <br /> Fast forward to now and OpenJournal is live. Sign in with your Wikipedia log-in, join the community, and start writing!<br /> <br /> In time, I&#039;d like this for this to grow and be a hub of blogs that are mirrored and shared far and wide.<br /> <br /> Let&#039;s see how far we go.</div>
