• 1). Figure out the purpose of your journal. Examples of journals are travel journals, diet journals, workout journals and dream diaries. For example, if you're looking to specifically create a workout journal, you may want to research fitness specific sites that offer the service and the structure to record workouts.
  
  
• 2). Find an online journal platform. There are several platforms that are specifically created for online journals. These online journal platforms are typically communities that can easily link up to other friends who also have journals. Many journals are free, but some require payment in order to upgrade features and/or get rid of internet advertising on your journal.
  
  
• 3). Use a blog platform. Online journal platforms are essentially blogs. You can basically choose any blog platform to be your online journal. Blogs also offer communities, so that your friends can have blogs too.
  
  
• 4). Decide your level of privacy. There are different levels of online privacy when it comes to your online journal. You can set your journal to private, so that you or anyone with a password can access it. You have the option to set your journal, so that only your friends have the ability to read it. Or you can have your journal completely public.
  
  
• 5). Design your journal. The great thing about having an online journal is the ability to easily design it and change its look whenever you want. You can customize background color, fonts, photos, and more when designing your journal.
  
  
• 6). Begin creating journal logs. Consistently update your journal through logging in and writing in it.
