Thanks for the vote of confidence, Aunt Carol!

I'm so glad you enjoyed our concert. And to the rest of you, you can tell how short and unattractive the rest of the men in our group are if I am the "tall, good looking one."

Just back from a freezing/raining/windy scout camp week with Lincoln. I think I'll sleep for a week to recover.

Hello All,

Glad you could make it. Welcome to the 21st century, where we no longer rely on the postal service to help us keep in touch!

Mom and Dad (Kent and Louise) asked me to write a quick explanation of what will be required for each of us to read and/or write to this "blog". Many of you are certainly familiar with this process and won't need any help at all, but for the rest of you...let me explain what you'll need.

First, in order to read the "articles" (posts) by others you don't need to do anything special. Simply using your web browser on an internet-connected computer will do the trick. Type in goldsberryfamily.blogspot.com in the URL bar at the top, and you're here!

Anyone can browse to this site and read articles, but in order to "post" or "publish" an article (like a letter) you will need what is called a Google Account (more on this in a moment). Ideally this would not be necessary, however without this step we can't keep anonymous posters from submitting "blog spam", which, just like your email inbox, often clutters up an otherwise useful tool.

Since Kent (and Louise) are handling the letter this year, they will be adding any and all "posting" accounts. Simply send an email to Louise with an email address (or list of email addresses) to set up. She'll add the address, and within 24 hours you should receive an "invitation" to author on the blog. At this point, you'll need a Google Account.

Creating a Google Account is easy to do and is absolutely free. You might already have a Google Account, and if so, you can use the same account here. You already have a Google Account if you have an email address @gmail.com or if you already use other Google services (PicasaWeb, Reader, Calendar, etc.). Assuming you don't have a Google Account, you'll be asked for your email address and a password -- and that's basically it. Oh, and you'll be asked to type in some letters that are all distorted, just to prove you are a real human. The distorted letters, by the way, are called a CAPTCHA and as much as we all hate them, they do serve a purpose. But I digress...

Once your account is added, you can (and should) post as often as you'd like. Make sure to include pictures and links to your own blogs if you have them. Please email Louise (louisegoldsberry@yahoo.com) with your own blog addresses, so that we can add them to the right-side menu. Also, let Louise know if you have any missionaries so we can add them as well. Any other ideas are appreciated as well. Comment on other peoples pictures and posts. Lets get to know each other a little better.

I, for one, am looking forward to "seeing" more of each other.
