Looks nice, couple of things.
There is no way to customize date settings. The minimum is starting day monday or sunday and day/month/year vs month/day/year.
I would want to be able to pick the most used tags by clicking on it instead of forcing me to retype them.
It's mentioned in an other post, being able to export data is a must with these services.
Keep up the good work!

Looks pretty neat. The UI is clean and simple to understand. Two things:
- I could not find any information about who is behind this. The About link doesn't work. - You could prettify your URLs. Currently it looks like this:

All those points are a work in progress
I removed the non-functioning links temporarly
Nice looking ui. One question: the 'Take it with you' section doesn't specify to what extent or in what format you can export your data should you wish to cancel a subscription (or simply live in a cave for a while)
Thanks for your interest .. the 'Take it with you' currently means you can use the service from mobile devices .. data extractions & offline access are a work in progress.
I used to use daily journal service featured in Lifehacker several times. This service used to send me a prescheduled email with a reminder to write a journal entry at the specified time. It also used to append older journal entry to revive the memory of previous days. I loved this approach of writing response to these mails. Keyword could be used in subject line to tag the entry. And when I used to visit the website everything used to be beautifully presented to me which can be exported in pdf, html or epub format in chosen style format. Well, they could have fund to keep running their website and it was shutdown. They were on donation anyway.
Service I want:
I don't like the idea of signing up for web app anymore. I have more than 500 online account in different web services and it becomes different to keep track them of all. Now I am all offline. My way of journaling requires TeX template and TeX editor. I keep it in a folder which get archived periodically by tar (command line utility). Then I keep it in a could service for back up. I am not a smart phone user, so it does not bother me. I am excited about Windows tablet because now I have full fledged OS in portable form.
My feedback for your service:
I did not sign up for your website. I only looked into available features and screenshots. It is good for no tech savy people. I have question? Does it support markdown? Can I upload my markdown templates? What are export options? I like being asked random common question like how was my day, What was my day like, what am I doing to improve my relationship, how do I define myself etc.
