Blog Activity

It is tremendously difficult to keep a blog active with only a few posts and only a few commenters. We are busy, we pretty much know where everyone stands on the issues, and little variety makes for a dull page. (It seems to me that when we split the family news off from this blog, activity slowly declined and until today, it was pretty much dead.) I changed the look of the page, but what really needs revamping is the content, and we also need greater participation. The election season is ramping up and there are many discussion-worthy topics to blog about, but we are not limited to politics, of course. I know some of my siblings are afraid to post or comment because they fear that someone will disagree and that somehow that disagreement will hurt family relationships. We are all mature adults and we have family bonds that go beyond differences of opinion, so please don't fear such an outcome.

Yeah I have been bad about this. I will try to check in more often. Dallan is off to BYUH and loving it. Shawn is working a lot and hopes to have a good bank account by the time he leaves for Georgia Southern in August.

I read the blog and everyones comments. I jsut don't feel comfortable nor knowledgable enough to make any comments because quite frankly, Alan and Doug are the most knowledgable and studious people on the matters. Therefore, I read and contemplate your ideas and thoughts.
