ok, thanks. This is what I understand:

1. The way to create a journal page is by clicking on the a date in the calendar
2. The only special properties of a journal page are that
   2.1. it is linked to the given date in the calendar
   2.2 the tasks get implicit date and appear with this date in the
tasks list (if option is activited)
3. There can be only one journal for each notebook

Correct?

Also,
"check the Insert/date and time which allows
for adding a link to the journal page"

I can include the date, but it is not a link. Do you mean to insert
the date for a task?

Thanks
Agus
