What is a BLOG anyway?

A BLOG is short for "weblog". It is a way to keep an online journal that you can allow your friends and family to look at. We won't have room for everything you want to post on this BLOG, so hopefully you won't get offended if our moderators decide not to post something you submitted. We just want to keep it for family stuff only.

So what do you do if you don't like our rules about not posting non-family related items? Maybe you like those cute pictures of cats and dogs cuddling or you come accross a touching story about someone not related to us. Well, if that's the case, we hope you will create your own blog and post these other kinds of items you may be interested in there. Seeing people's different personalities and what they like is great, but we just can't fit it all in here.

Luckily, if you can attach something to an email or buy something online, you can probably figure out how to use Google's Blogger. It's free, and that way we can have links to your individual family blogs and/or websites. Just go to http://www.blogger.com/ to get started.
