for those of you that want this to be used in the center block.

This is the journal_latestentrybits

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass"><div class="smallfont"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/journal.php?do=showentry&e=$latest[entry_id]" title="$latest[entrytext]">$latest[entrytitle]</a> - ($latestentrydate at <span class="time">$latestentrytime</span>)<br /><span style="cursor:pointer" onclick="window.open('member.php?u=$latest[journalist_id]')">$latest[journalist]</span></div></td>
<tr><td class="$bgclass"><div class="smallfont">$latest[entrytext]<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/journal.php?do=showentry&e=$latest[entry_id]" title="$latest[entrytext]">more</a></div></td></tr>
</tr>

It will display the short blurb of the journal entry and add a "more" link at the end.
