## Chapter 4. Making Your First Entry

Here I'll detail how to get started making entries.

Figure 4.1. The main Window

This window should present itself immediately after login. Here you can see three tabs. The first, and visible, is the calendar tab. This tab will display a calendar detailing existing entries and also search results (view->Days With Search Results).

Note: While the days with search results options causes the calendar to only show days with search results, when you select a day it still shows all the entries for this day. This is a missing part of the feature and will be fixed later (and may already be fixed at your time of reading).

To begin journaling you can just go ahead and double click "Add A New Entry" and you will be whisked off to the edit tab to edit your first entry for the day selected in the calendar.

Figure 4.2. Edit Tab

This tab is really where you should spend about 90% of your time working in eJourn (if the other two are successful in their jobs).

This really should be self explanatory. The top part has the date, in fancy text, the weather, then your mood. Then on down the left pane you'll see the subject of your entry; and if you have an image theme installed there'd be an image below it representing your weather and mood selection. And then the main part of it is for your entries text. There are more features available here, and they'll be discussed later on.

Now, click the calendar tab:

As you can see there is now two options in the list of entries. Making a new one, and the one we've just made.
