Welcome to my new blog

Some of you may not be familiar with the term Blog. Blog is a short-hand term for web log. The concept of Blogs has been around on the internet since the early 1990s. Pyra labs' release of its Blogger software in August 1999 triggered an explosion in the use of weblogs. Since 1999, the concept and use of blogs has morphed from a page containing links to new web pages to online threaded discussions, much like an online diary or discussion board. The weblog ushered in the opportunity for the average internet user to begin syndicating opinions and content and posting that content on the public internet.

You now have three easy methods available to obtain up-to-date information regarding our family. You can choose to visit my blog web site regularly by simply adding the URL link to your favorites menu on your browser and visiting regularly. A second option is to use the handy e-mail subsciption window at the bottom right hand corner of my blog. Simply type in your preferred e-mail address and click on the subscribe button. When I post some new information into the blog you will recieve an automatic e-mail notification. Finally, if you would like to use a feedreader to subscribe with RSS feeds, you may click on one of the links - also at the lower right hand corner of the page. If you do not have a feedreader please view the list of links further up the page and download a feedreader from the link I provided.

You will notice the I have already posted a few items, primarily as tests. I will attempt to update this site at least once a week, if possible. Please offer comments and suggestions on the blog site as you feel appropriate. Of course, you can always e-mail us just as before.
