Stretchy Changy Scroll

twilightponyThis Dream Width scroll has a weird quirk. While the text reads from left to right, top to bottom, each journal entry is like on its own patch and stacked on top of all the previous patches with the last, latest one on top. So, it's like a stack of patches all in one scroll. A patchwork scroll that stretches every time you add a patch. Or it's like reading a staircase where the bottom step is the beginning and the top stair is the most recent past. At least it's organized. I put a "tag" on the beginning here so I won't have to dig to find that first step in this staircase.
The journal gets "news" delivered to it on another page called "reading". News was delivered today and it's about changes to how this system works, mostly things I don't use or haven't used yet. The little arrows that appeared next to that "beginning" tag are new. So very odd that these things can change, but I am writing on someone else's paper, or paper shared by many "people". It's like living in a TreeCastle, you make do with what you're given. I almost left a query as to whether Equestria could be included in the list of countries. Then I thought better of it. There's no point being on a list of countries if you're the only pony from there who is on Dream Width. I did put Ponyville, Equestria in my profile sheet, but in "region" and "city", not "country". As such, it didn't light up, but it's there, if you look!
