As your family grows and moves away it gets harder and harder to keep in touch with all of them. Calling is expensive, email is impersonal, and visits can be rare. The solution is to create a blog as an ongoing family newsletter.

 

You may have tried family newsletters before with limited success. They tend to get very long if you don’t send them very often. And then you have to pick and choose what details to include. Even then, all of your family members may not think they have the time to read them right away, and when they finally do it’s outdated. Create a blog and avoid all these problems.

 

I used to get emails from family members and friends longer than this article. They were form letters usually filled with a lot of stuff that didn’t apply to me. Sometimes they also carried large picture files that took forever to download and didn’t fit on the screen. For a while I skimmed these emails, and sometimes looked at the pictures. Eventually I stopped reading most of them altogether.

 

If you create a blog to post an ongoing family newsletter, you can put in all the details about what’s going on in your life on a daily basis. A family blog will not only allow you to write important every day events, you can post pictures and videos, read comments from your family members, and link to other family members’ private blogs. Have each of your children create a blog and you can always know what is going on in their lives without feeling intrusive. You can know exactly when a sister delivers her baby or how your nieces and nephews react on Christmas morning. If you create a blog you will only have to tell about your breakup once, not once for every family member and friend.

 

Your family members will never feel overwhelmed to read your private blog because you can update it as often as you want. Even if they miss a posting, they can go back whenever they like and read the postings in the archives. Best of all, each of your family members can create a blog for themselves to keep everyone updated. No more “he said she said,” or “why didn’t you tell me.” Everyone can read and see important events from the horse’s mouth. Once your family members see how easy and fun it is to create a blog they will all want to start.

 

One of my cousins who always sent humongous emails to the family recently decided to create a blog. She now puts all of her pictures and stories there. I visit it on a regular basis and I feel more updated than ever. It’s more interesting than her emails because she can afford to put in all the interesting details. I only read what looks interesting from the pictures and headlines. I never feel guilty about deleting something from my inbox because it’s taking up all my space.

 

It is easy to Create a blog to keep your family updated. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection and a quality private blog builder to walk you through how to create a blog.
