Journal In Secret with Penzu

Posted under Free Resources, Resources, Tools

Journaling is a great way to express thoughts, feelings, concerns, worries, anger…and all those other things that you want to get out but don’t want others to see. The problem is that journal books and blogging aren’t necessarily secure. But Penzu offers a free web-based journaling option that is safe and secure from prying eyes.

Entries made with Penzu are automatically saved and kept private. If you’d like to share your entry with others, you have the option to do that as well. Penzu allows you to add pictures and works with Flickr as well.

A paid version offers even greater security, journal customization, and the ability to past-date entries.

To learn more or to start journaling, visit Penzu.
