I've been pestering some of you to start a blog so I can see more pictures and hear more stories, but I understand that you may just not have the time. Well, you are off the hook! I'll make the blog (done) and all I'm going to pester you to do is add a post here and there to keep us updated on your life.
This will be our family's website where we can share news, accomplishments, photos, funny stories, videos, recipes, important messages, good old Yorgason humor, etc. It's a way to build more unity as a family as we communicate and share memories more often with each other. It is also a great family history tool. At the end of the year, we will be able to look back over all the posts and know what went on in our family in 2009.
We will keep it private, meaning that no one outside of our family will be able to view it. Therefore, we don't have to worry about our identity being used improperly. I will make it private in the next week or so.
It won't take too much time, and if you just don't have time to add anything to it, then it's no big deal. With a big family, there will be plenty of posts! Everyone can at least view the blog and make comments about what others are posting. But since Jason has an iphone, we expect that he will be making additions daily! :)
I can start out being in charge of making major changes on settings or formatting, until someone else wants to take it over. Everyone else can just add a post here and there to tell us what's going on.
Here are some simple instructions:
- It is very easy to add a "post" with pictures, videos, or words. Click at the top of the page, where it says "new post" and then you'll see what to do next. When your post is done, click at the bottom left on "publish post." It has had an error that I'm working to fix, but even though it says there is an error, there really isn't. If you return to the blog, you will see that it worked to post your information.
- To make a comment on a post that you read, click at the bottom of that post on the word "comment"
Thanks!
Love,
Jen
