This is Great!

Thanks Chris. This is very exciting. An official site for the family to chat, share news and pictures...and generally keep in touch. I think everyone will enjoy both reading and contributing to the blog.

Here is a tip that I have found handy. When you are looking up something that you know you saw in the blog, here is a neat way to find it. Above the blog header pic (very nice photo by the way) there is a white search box. Just put in a keyword that was in the post you are seeking and click "search blog" and all the posts with that keyword will open.

Also, adding pix and videos to your posts is easy and I expect to see a lot of them! Just click on the photo or the film strip located on the tool bar of the "create post" page. I find it easiest to download the pix first and then add the wording.

Okay, let's get this party started with a little trip down memory lane. Here is a photo slide show from Labor Day at Pike Lake last year.

Wasn't that fun?

Okay, to embed slide shows, just go to the Picasa site and click the album you want to embed. On the left hand sidebar of the album, you'll see the embed slideshow option. (Hint...you have to paste the html under the "edit html" tab as opposed to the "compose" tab of the create post page.)

Thanks Chris for creating the Potts family blog...great name, too! Oh, and sorry no grammar check...but there is a spell check in the toolbar (thank God!)
