My favorite one so far is It's Personal, http://www.rkssoftware.com
I also tried quite a few others..if you look up Blog/diary software
you'll find a list on google that we discussed a bit ago. But the It's
personal one so far is the easiest to use.

You might consider Keynote. It gives a lot of flexibilty in the way you can
record your thoughts and events.
http://www.tranglos.com/free/keynote.html
In general, any structured of free-form information, especially the kind of
information which lends itself to hierarchical representation, such as lists
or outlines. KeyNote's powerful search facility quickly locates information
you're looking for.
The ability to store many notes in a single file means no hunting for files
scattered all over your computer. For many users it will be enough to create
just one KeyNote file and add notes to it, with each note covering a
separate topic (e.g., "To do", "Addresses", "Bookmarks", "Finances", etc.)
Built-in strong encryption allows you to secure your files against
unauthorized access or modification.
The "virtual node" feature additionally allows you to pull together many
files and edit them all within a single KeyNote file, while the original
files remain on disk (so there is no need to perform any conversion).
Examples of use:
personal information management
personal diary or journal
to-do items
scratchpad for quick notes and ideas
writing and structuring small articles or larger documents
Creating and storing electronic texts (easily structure chapters or
sections)
outlines, projects
project documentation
reports
recipes
personal contacts (addresses, telephone numbers)
accounts, passwords, PIN numbers (remember to encrypt the file!)
Internet bookmarks (clickable hyperlinks)
all kinds of lists! If you collect books, CDs, DVDs, or just your favorite
quotes or jokes, KeyNote makes it easy to store them in one place and search
through them quickly.
email archives (you can use the separate, free KNTConvert utility to import
your email archives into a KeyNote file)
archiving documents, such as articles downloaded from the Internet or local
files
templates for creating documents with a standard format
viewing log files (use virtual nodes to view log files without having to
open each file separately)
for teachers: class notes, student attendance and assessment notes
for programmers: KeyNote is great for storing and searching through source
code archives
Version 2.0 of KeyNote will further enhance KeyNote's usefulness by the
addition of several new types of nodes, including a grid (a simple
spreadsheet), HTML browser and image viewer.

Where does it say donation-ware?
I only read "Try before you buy", " Home of the $19.95 software"
" You can download a fully functional copy which you can use for 30-days
free of charge."
That is NOT FREEware from anything I have found on that site.
Where is the 100% freeware there? Please provide a link.

Yep, no freeware here. No ambivalence at all with this one...

Thanks for everybody's contribution. I have tried a couple of the
applications, but are there any others for me to consider?

I recall that Keynote and iDailyDairy were recommended, which are both
really good pros.
I don't know what you're after, but from the random suggestions department,
we could throw this basic, straighforward jot-by-date guy into the mix:
http://home.wanadoo.nl/ajberg/datepad.html
Maybe too put Notebark in for a possible. Its a tree-pane type editor,
rtf support, and does a couple of things involving date (including option
to auto-name nodes by date).

Thanks, Karen. One nice thing in Firefox, the Download Manager screen makes itomega said:
easy to see the file. Both of the above were installs, so I passed. These days,
I've even downloaded a 150 KB exe or even zip file, and find I have an install
after all. The internet is going down the tubes!
Forgot to mention in the other reply, re: green files- I try to grow vegetables
for a healthy diet where possible.

Notebark runs green, no registry or external files, using an .ini in its
local directory. If you want to have a file association with its .nbf
filetype, having bypassed the installer, then it leaves it up to you to
do that yourself (the way I like things).
My ftp client is still open, so I've gone ahead just now and uploaded
Notebark. There are differences between v17 and v18, and I've never quite
made final preference. I chose v18 for the upload. It didn't come with a
helpfile, so I put the .hlp from v17 in with zip (so know that it might not
be completely correspondent). Also, all my screenshots are of the v17, and
it has a slightly different appearance from the later. But I've gone ahead
and used a pic of the v17 for upload.

A recent trend has been online journaling, or "blogging". There's a
free service called Blogger.com that I use.
Of course, the disadvantage to online journaling is that you can't put
private stuff on there. So it depends on your needs.

Have you tried Notepad? (Yes, the MS Notepad.)
Open Notepad, make a new file, type .LOG in the first line (full point
and then capitals), close it and then open it again.
If you want some space between entries, you can press enter two or
three times each time you are finished.
I find this very handy for keeping a simple diary. Only you cannot
(afaik) reverse the chronological order, that is, have new entries on
top.
Many Notepad replacements support this function. I use Edxor and it
does.
