More about the Website

Christmas Lunch - Mmmm gravy!

I apologise for the delay in saying any more about the website but you know that cold that everyone had over Christmas? well there was only one of them in our house so Colin decided that we should share. He had it for New year and it was my turn on Wednesday. As a result I retired to the settee on Saturday morning and I have stayed there except for bathroom visits and going to bed. I have drunk plenty of fluids and even eaten fruit!!! I do feel better today so I could look at the comments on the previous post and add my thoughts.

First is there anyone in this family who could build the website? Colin and Ann have said they will pay for it for five years, which is absolutely fantastic, and we think there should be a rousing cheer! What we need now is someone who can set it up so that all us cousins from all over the world have access to it and we can each put up family pictures with a bit of detail about which ancestor it is. We can also collect the family stories there and put any important news like weddings etc.
I think we should make it accessible only by family - I know it can be done - just because we don't want just anyone nosing into our business do we? For example, Mr Bluefunnel (for the explanation of why they are called the Bluefunnels look here) and our man in Mexico discussed the growing of Viagra, Apparently growing it themselves means it would be organic and therefore could be sold for more. We wouldn't want that discussed too openly would we, after all everyone would be jumping onto our bandwagon and the price would drop!
We could also put the regular Gibbon Gazette onto the site in PDF file format and then everyone could download it themselves.
For people who don't have access to a computer I am happy to continue to send out paper copies.
I am sure that if we had a central place where we could pop in and add a little bit of news or leave a message for other members of the family we would keep in closer contact.
We'll see.
