Most people are familiar with blogging and also with family websites. You keep a diary for your family to visit, catch up on your activities, see pictures of your little ones, and maybe leave comments. But have you though of a combined family blog?<\/p>\n

With different free blog platforms such as Blogger and WordPress, you can add authors to your blogs. I recently began a blog for everyone to keep in touch. My family is accustomed to visiting my blogs (like this one) and just seeing what I am up to or check out an upcoming magazine article to find out where I am next. But, that\u2019s a little one sided. I want to read about my aunt\u2019s trips to Las Vegas, see my cousin\u2019s latest beach pictures, and find out about my uncle\u2019s falconry exploits. And I don\u2019t want to have to add 500 more blogs to my Google reader.<\/p>\n

So, I started a new blog and sent out invitations for each of them to become authors. It\u2019s really hard for us to keep in touch, but thanks to email, I had three people signed up in less than 24 hours. I already have a slideshow posted for everyone to comments on and the nice part is, I can\u2019t wait to see what is going to be there tomorrow. <\/p>\n

Families lose touch way too easily. Why not start a new blog and invite your loved ones to blog with you and make your life an interactive experience again?<\/p>\n

Here are some articles with more ideas on how to enjoy your family.<\/p>\n
