*as mentioned in previous post, this was left for a member who I believe has the bug inaccess, not intentional, just reposting it here in case our faq writers wish to use some of it or the screenshot or whatevah.

To set your journal at a level where anyone can read it, click onYour Journal Title (linked there for your convenience). At the top of the journal page directly underneath your journal's title/name click on "edit".

Next, a new page should load with a text field for your journal title, a text field for your journal description and a text field for the body of journal (which should contain nothing by the way, only when creating a "new entry" should contain actual text). To the right of these text fields should be two sets of "radio buttons", one for what type of journal (social, historical, general etc) and one for "journal access". That one will have I believe 7 radio buttons to choose from, numbering 0-6. It should look like this:



Make sure the level "Zero" is the one chosen like shown here. Hit "Submit" and send a gram to someone online (if there are any scribes or demis online, they are the best pick as you cannot run out of grams talking to them) and ask them to please visit your homesite and attempt to read your journal. If they say they still cannot access your journal (it should still say "you must be a friend of Sayuri's" if they cannot) then sadly it is a "bug" (site related error) and not you at all.

I say it may be a "bug" because it's a known issue here (ie; it's happened before) that a new member will create their journal, never change the "zero" level access to a "one" but it will limit readership regardless. Hopefully that is not the case, if it is it may take a bit of time for the site admin to fix it. If the person testing your journal says they cannot access it, please visit my message board and let me know. I'll put in a report for the site to have a look at it and hopefully fix it for you quickly!
