Does your family have a blog?
Not just one for your immediate family, but one that Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles cousins etc can all post on?
I am thinking of starting one for my family so that we can all keep track of each other.
If you do have one, do many people post? Or is it a constant struggle to keep it updated?

Actually, I never even thought of that. But I love it! What a wonderful idea to bring families together ... especially when you live far apart or can't spend a lot of time together. I hope you do it!
Blessings, Lea

What a great idea!!! I think I'm going to start one too. My family all lives in IL so it would be fun to see what they post.

My daughters and sisters have "MySpace". When DH and I move to our farm, I hope the blog I have attempted to get going now will be used for all.
When some events comes up and someone was left out, we laugh " I did not get the memo"..maybe this will help. :)

You can start a blog through www.blogspot.com and then add users once it is signed up for. We are still trying to come up with a name for our blog that won't exclude any familes and yet will be unique for all of us.

Alee,
Our family does. My dad is a teacher and quite a techie.. SO he is always doing this stuff.... So he started one for the family, and it is so great! It really does help us all stay connected... So I started one for the women in the family.. as we all rent a beach house for a week and cousins, aunties, grandmas, etc.. all go to the beach house... the blog for us helps us post.. thoughts, Ideas, menues etc... Great fun!

My oldest daughter has her own and one of her & her husband which are linked to mine as well as my new grandson ( his dad& momma started it before he was born.) My son promised to post every week with new pictures of our Charlie..This way I can see how he is changing. This is a great idea.. It's been 2 weeks since he was born & already I see changes.

There used to be sites just for this. Something like familysites.com I can't remember. I do a lot of things where I get points on this website for clicking on ads (I can turn these points in for gift certificates to just about any where I want) and they used to send ads for this family site thing. Like a blog, had a place for photos and all kinds of things. I set them up for my family but the family never came. Now most of my family is dead.
My siblings use MySpace, but that's about it. We can keep up with each other a little there, but that even isn't updated as much as I would like.
If you have family that spends a lot of time online it would probably work great.
