This blog was created in the midst of last year's election and its original purpose was to provide a venue for family members to post opinions and respond to opinions about current events. However, the blog has become a mixture of opinions and family news. This is unpleasant for some and it has been suggested by several people that the two should be divided to create two blogs: one for family news and one for opinion and discussion. Since the blog you are currently reading is titled "Wortham Family and Relatives Discussion" and since the web address is very similar, it seems logical to keep this blog as the opinion and discussion blog. I have set up a new blog titled "Wortham Family News." Invitations to access the page have been sent out to Mom and Dad and their immediate family. Please give me addresses of grandkids who need to be invited. Such will constitute a downward expansion, which all will welcome I am sure. However, should we expand it horizontally to aunts, uncles, cousins, etc? Perhaps they already have such a webpage for their own immediate families, and such a horizontal expansion could get unwieldy over time (which doesn't mean I am against it by any means).
As a reminder, the reason for the invitations is to prevent "trolls" from accessing our page. "Trolls" are creatures who 'troll' around the web to find open web pages where they can post inflammatory and crude messages.

Could you put a link up from one to the other along with the links to your blog and mine?
I will send you my children's e-mail accounts so that you can invite them if they wold like. Thanks for doing this. Teresa
Thank you Alan. I will do.
I personally don't see the need to add another one. I think this was fine. I enjoyed one site where I could follow peoples opinions and know what they were doing at the same time. Now I have to go to two different sites (3 including Brians). If we keep adding more it'll get too cumbersome to keep track of everything. I vote NOT!
I suggested the change and support it.
I will put everyone's blogs on my bookmark bar,
it makes it soooo easy to visit my family members.
I need to start my own blog like Alan and Brian. I think that is such a good idea!
I'm with Deric. The simpler the better.
