CRAIG IS NOW AN ADDITIONAL AUTHOR ON THIS FAMILY BLOG

we finally figured out how to get craig as an additional author on this family blog.

which i wanted so he can post his one versions of what goes on thru his perceptions.

give you readers a different look on the family as well.

hes currently writting a post as im doing this one.

so, for anyone whos interested in a format that you can share events and have mutiple authors to one blog, or even have numbers of ppl to tell the event too. this is a great way to do it. (still effective in OURSTORY.com, as well)

you could make this the family news center, and everyone from all over (wherever they may be) can post and update and each person on the GROUP (you set up inside google) will have an update of the other, or whomever posts (with permissions) to the blog, or group. (NOTE: in OURSTORY.com, NO group is needed to be able to post with different authors, just a connection to eaachother is all thats needed thru OURSTORY.com)

the best part is the ability to upload pics directly from your hard drive, pick one out and its in the post. no need to have a picture host to have to monkey with the cut and paste of the link, so the image then shows on the post. (in OURSTORY.COM for a basic account you have 3 uploads direct from drive to post, and in PREMIUM membership, its 6 direct uploads from drive to post)

aparently this site does it all, and im EXSTATIC that it does!!! (thats converted to OURSTORY.com)

i have been hunting for the perfect blog host to journal in and wanted the ability to have pics posted directly to the page without having to take the time and root on my drive, upload to a different server, then get the link, post it in the blog and hope that they havnt done maintinence or are still available.

so, i highly recommend this site for anyone interested in blogging.(yes, OURSTORY.com, i recommend THAT as the site too choose!)

the digest formats good too, puts all the daily blogs on one email, but you miss out on any pics that way. the groups available to go read and it allows for viewing the pics from there, but then, theres always the fact that you can create an account and come to the blog and read it from your own. (OURSTROY.com doesnt fo DIGEST format...it sends an email out for every post posted to all who are connected and "watching" the stroy, or you can send the post out to whom you choose each post.)

at any rate, this blogs the BOMB DIGGITY!!!!

now, craigs an aditional author and hell post some events that he feels you all may want to know about in association to himself, or the family as a whole..like myself feel you all may be interested in.

thanks again, for the interest in wanting to participate in our lives like this. it means alot to us all.

CRAIGS GONNA MAKE BLOGGER HIS BLOG HOME

**NOTE: this was originally poasted on BLOGGER.com**
**NOTE: this reflects BLOGGER.com not OURSTORY.com**

CRAIGS GONNA MAKE BLOGGER HIS BLOG HOME..i convinced him **WINK**

i have been pushing blogger for craig to use as his blog home, because of all the great features it has already built into it, and today, as i was thinking of another way to promote it to get him to switch from his yahoo, to here, he asked me if i was wanting him to do such a thing? we have discussed it a bit before (with alot of hesitation on his end)

in that way, of asking: so, what your saying is..you want me to blog ..here..now. " not really a question, altho in an asked format, more like a statement, he was making sure i was in agreement with.

YES!!

and i went into the reasons why again.

his response....

i only need a basic blog, im not wanting all that "stuff" you do...

my thinking, ok..so why was it an issue? all you have to do is cut and paste from your other blog..and back date everything to this new one..you can even have it open and allow others to read it.

hes not really into blogging much as it is...but i keep trying to explain to him, its how anyone will ever know about him and who he was...im only gonna be here for so long, and his memory wont transfer from daniel to HIS children easily..its thru words, thoughts, ideas, and posts, weather it be in a book you hand write in, or a online blog/journal...that those in the future may come to know you best...

i want to leave this planet having touched at least ONE person to a better degree than when i arrived. i want my memory to mean something to someone i dont know yet...

i want ppl to recognize me by my character and personality even tho it be only written.

i want to matter.

maybe ill never be noted as anyone anyone cares about, and in time ill be a distant memory to those who knew me and still survived my life...but i dont think many of those whom i talk to, and those i dont so often (uncle mickey thats a reference to you) could say im an awful person...

im a good person, and if you know me deeply, you know that im not boasting, or being prideful. im being truthful.

i may have my moments (dont we all?) but i also, take to heart ALOT of what others convey to me, and relate to me, and share with me. i ponder, and hold close (even if i dont like it) what you say..and i proccess it all in my own way. most of it is kept. very little is tossed.

im passionate about my connections. i have very few friends, and those i call, friend..id die for if i had too. same with my family. i love each of you who are signed onto my group and recieving the digest...i hope your reading them and not tossing them out.

over time, ill delve deeper into my relationship and my feelings for each of you individualy....right now im still basicly allowing you inside my window, and your allowed a view into my heart, soul, and mind.

welcome, again..to my life. your here, because i think YOUR special to ME!

and THANK YOU HONEY for joining this site..i know ive been a blog bouncer ( a blogger who cant find the right home to blog in and jumps from one to another on a whim)..but i like this one BESTEST of ALL of them so far!
your a JEWEL!! a GEM!! and i am so VERY VERY fortunate to have gotten you for a hubby!
i am so VERY THANKFUL that God listened to my prayer, and gifted me with YOU!!!

============================================================================
UPDATE: craigs now on OURSTORY.com, and didnt even think twice about being here. lol, he knows im a blog-hopper and have been looking for the "PERFECT" blog (of which he said would never exist)..and yet, HERE WE ARE!!! lol

=====================================================================

UPDATE-Im back on blogger, transfering over 5K (yes you read that right, might even be more, im afraid to find out..lol) BLOG posts from Ourstory.com to BLOGGER.

MY 'FOLLOW YOUR BLISS' BLOG ON OURSTORY.com WAS FEATURED ON THE FRONT PAGE

i havnt been on this blog very long, perhaps 3 days i believe. (i was referencing my blog on OURSTORY.com when i posted this blog, it was there before it came to blogger)

i have some great communication with a couple of ppl from within customer suport. and i have to say...WONDERFUL REAL LIFE PPL! cant say enough about them! best support ive come across in ages.

and so it was, that in one email i sent i had sugested the site have a feature area where selected blogs could be exposed for ppl to go view (if they were set to public).

without realizing it, and quite by accident, i loged out and tried to open an account for hubby, and was met with the area that DOES have the feature presented to ppl who go to sign up, or log back in to do thier blogging.

today, i woke up, read an email from one support personel (stephanie) telling me she had featured THIS blog on the front page! and asked if i didnt mind.

OF COURSE NOT!!! lol. i think its awasome!

so, then i went to see for myself and saw that in fact THIS blog IS featured as a highlighted blog.

i dont havent posted much because i have to go to ANOTHER blog and tranfer all the data from it to this one,,,,,one blog post at a time, and then from there...catch up on blogging since i stopped in the other blog almost a year ago.

so, that will consume a mass amount of time to get done, and at the same time keep current and up-to-date with my own blog, my weighloss blog, and my sons blog too...lol

what an honor to be selected to be a featured highlighted blog!

have to say: THANKS to the site !!!!
