Red Blogs allows teenagers and parents to select level of privacy they want for the online diaries.

Blogger.com is better...

Better interface, easier to use, and not owned by AOL. I recommend Blogger.com....

AOL Refuses to Restore Wrongfully Deleted Journal

AOL's Community Action Team (CAT) recently issued a Terms of Service violation for, AOL claimed, a pro-bulimia weblink on a Journaler's site.

Multiple calls to the CAT and Tech Support were wasted upon outsourced workers who could not understand the problem, mostly because they are unfamiliar with the product and because their English-communication skills are severely lacking.

Once in contact with the corporate office, AOL held the line regarding the violating link which was actually a link to an AOL partnered WebMD site.

AOL has admitted their mistake, but refuses to restore the subscriber's journal on the account that "once deleted," the files are irrecoverable.

This flies in the face of lower-level customer service agents who, probably accidentally, let-slip the fact that journals remain on the company's servers for up to 45 days and that someone should have initiated a "Recovery Order."
