New and Improved Family Land

E-mail Print PDF
Greetings everyone,
You may have noticed quite a few changes around here lately.  I have been busy working hard on a new and improved family web site.
I have always had a goal to create a highly interactive Web site, online community, media portal, blog and eCommerce solution for my entire family.  With this latest version of Family Land I think we are well on our way to that goal.

What's New in the Site

E-mail Print PDF

This is quite the long list, but I will try and outline the coolest new stuff for you here. Be sure to use the <READ MORE> link to learn more about all the new features of our site.

To start, I am sure you have noticed the major changes to the theme.  I chose this theme because it allowed for the best integration of the Photo Section, and the Genealogy Section.  I also really liked that it was a nice wide layout that scales with the size of your screen.  It wasn't that really narrow design with all the wasted space on the left and rigth sides.  We will eventully be allowing registered members to pick their own theme as well as give them complete control over many other aspects of the sites appearance.

The newest very cool addition is the Family Genealogy Section (GEDView).  After doing some extensive research on this type of software, what I finally found is quite simply amazing!!  If you dont believe me, I urge you to check it out for yourself.  This new add-on to the site will allow us to keep track of all the important facts about our family like, birthdays, deaths, anniversaries, maiden names, addresses, special pictures, and a whole lot more.  It is completely private to the outside world and they will only see the info of deceased family for security reasons.  This is why it is so important you sign up for an account.

How You Can Help

You can help our new site in many different ways.  The very first thing you will want to do is sign up for an account and post something.  Remember - Only registered users can can see the private data of living family members in the family tree, post to the discussion forums, upload photos, or post an article on the main part of the site.  I welcome everyone to do all of these things as often as you are willing.  This is the way the web site grows.  Don't worry if you make a mistake, or if you need help, we are here for you.  I would rather see 100 messed up articles or pictures, than none at all.

The other thing you can do that will really help defray to costs of hosting & maintaining this site is to shop at our affiliate sites.  If you do any shopping online, we would ask that you stop here first and use the links we have set up to start your shopping session.  We will earn referrals when you do this and those funds will be used to fund this site.  If you shop at a site frequently and you don't see a link for it here, please let me know so I can join their program.
