Family Blog/Journal

I've been remiss lately in not keeping my own journal updated, and have noticed many people have started using blogs as basically a way of keeping a record of their life and thoughts. And, as I've thought about my journal, I've decided I don't really want to write anything that I wouldn't want my immediate family to read anyway.

It turns out it's now free and easy to do a private blog that only a few people access--with no technical know-how, and you can have multiple people publish to it.

I've invited all our Hadfield family members and given each of them permission as publishers to write directly to this blog. I'm hoping we can each post entries, favorite websites, even pictures and videos.

I see this as a different purpose from our discussion group we tried awhile ago. I'd like to see this as a shared family journal--to just give updates on what's happening, share pictures, and if we want, we can also discuss various topics.

This is, I hope, a great opportunity for us to learn from each other and share news. If you want, you can use it as your family history journal, like I'm going to with mine.
