To get started, you need to first talk with the family members that you think would enjoy participating.
Or, you could sign up for your own account first, either way. You can sign up for an account at
www.xanga.com = Pick out a screen name and password for yourself.
Oh, and for family members who do not want to write, they can still sign up for an account because if they have their email address linked to an account, they will get emails of your postings as soon as you do them! It really is a genius way to keep in touch!
(And once you sign up for an account you can, only if you want, PM me your screen name and password, along with what kind of web design you want and I'll pull together something really cute for you!)
