While there is no single right way to do a member journal, you can do a few things that will ensure more people follow your buildup and reply in your thread.

I highly recommend that you start your member journal and reserve the first post for the following:

* - A table of contents so readers can get a quick overview of your mod path and only read the posts related to your buildup.

* - List of Sponsors

* - List of Modifications

* - Featured Images & Wallpaper, etc.


After you start your member journal, immediately post a reply and use that post for your first entry.

For the model example of this proposed member journal format, please see Ben's HSPN / IWSTI Race Car thread:

When you are done, don't you want your journal to look as organized as his?

If anybody has any additional tips to make it easier for our members to follow your buildup, please post them here.

If you can't immediately reserve the first reply to your post because you already started your journal, then just use the bottom of the first post.

The text box for the user journal in my profile will not allow me to put in the full url to my journal.

You need to post the thread number, not the complete URL. Here are the instructions:
