Where to start?  Some of you know that I have mentioned doing this in the past and others will find this a surprise.  I am hoping that this will be a tool for my extended family and friends to post information, news, photos and general family happenings.  Most of us are aware of size the limitations of email and the chore it can be to keep up with a current mailing list, thus I believe that this blog will be a useful tool for everyone to keep up with what is going on in our large group.

Now that you are on the blog register and send me an email at barnrd@richardb.netand with a few clicks I’ll update your profile and you’ll be able to post your own entries.  If you prefer that I post something for you send it to me in an email and I will copy it in to a post for you, although it will be under my name and not yours.

With this being said, there are a few things to keep in mind.  The posts on the blog and websight is available to everyone on the world wide web to see.  The address book is only available to Editors and above.   Do not post things like bank account numbers, telephone numbers, personal email accounts in the forum., but the information you put in the address book is protected.

There is als0 a calendar on here that you can add events to.  This would be a great place to put items such as reunions and birthdays. 

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a not and I help any way I can and if you would like, and I do host email accounts on this website and can set one up for you without any problems.

When posting events or news add a tag or two to the “Tags” area to make searching for your post easier.  For example; if you want to post something about Homecoming this year, add Homecoming and Dubach to the tag section and seperate them with a comma like this Homecoming, Dubach.  This will cause your post to show up whenever someone searches either tag.

 Enjoy
