New Website Feature
All,
I have created a new feature on the 816pine.com website. From now on, when someone makes a new post on the site, all who are registered on the site will receive an email notification that the post has been made. The email will contain the text of the post and links for others to comment on the posts. If you are registered on the site, you are probably reading one of those notifications now. I will send out an email, later, to everyone, providing instructions to all who did not receive the notification for this post how they can register.
My hope is that the website can be used for communication to the entire family instead of the current system of trying to keep a very long list of frequently-changing email addresses up-to-date. It will also help us organize responses, because comments made on a post are kept with that post. As an example, I will, later, create a post asking the cousins for suggestions and ideas for next year’s reunion. We’ll use it as our forum for discussion (in lieu of the forum at Pigeon Forge which we cancelled in favor of playing mafia).

Hey, Warren,
Great idea. The site keeps improving. Love the pictures and the links to members’ sites.
I’ve always thought there was a better, more efficient way to keep our email addresses up to date. How does the website updgrade accomplish this? Let’s say I’ve changed my email address and I want the whole family to know: how wouldI do that?
Michael (loved playing mafia by the way–what a riot!)
There is a “Profile” page where you can change your information, but, until you said that I hadn’t noticed that I didn’t include the link (silly me). Now I’ve added it. On the top of the page now, next to “post” is “profile.” Click that and you can change all your information.
Yep, mafia was a blast. I can’t wait until next year to play it again. To date, it’s the most fun I’ve had while being frustrated.
