Wes and Jen have motivated me to post something new to my blog.

I know, I know, it has been a couple years now. I guess I never saw the blog as a great communication tool. Anybody who knows me well knows I keep my YouTube site (www.youtube.com/recinutah) current, but none of my other websites. The Eagle of Moab site (www.theeagleofmoab.com) is now over 3 years out of date. The Yahoo family site is still working good, but nobody posts pictures or information to it, only requests for newsletter submittals. My geocities site (www.geocities.com/sl5k5) used to be how I kept people informed, but I have long since given that up, converting it to a redirect site only.

But what do you all think? Who here would like to see more Mike Sumner Family updates on my blog? Or who would rather be content wait for emails or phone calls? Our family newsletter keeps people updated best, although it has been suggested by other siblings that we could publish the same information to a blog. I was thinking about Picasa for picture posting, but it doesn't offer the real back and forth communication like a blog.

The real problem these days is there are amazing ways to communicate but not enough people interested in spending the time to do it.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
