I’ve got an all-new (except for the content) version of ballfam.net ready for it’s first outing. For the time being you can find it at http://www.ballfam.net/new. Try it out and see how you like it.

Family members should get a login id so you can post things to it. I’ve already created logins for some people because I know their usual passwords. I’ll send email to you individually about them. Anyone else can register for a login and password. I set it so that I’ll have to approve them, just to keep out idle strangers. I’ll certainly approve any family or close friends as soon as I can. It may take a few hours though, and in the mean time you can use the same login/password that you used on the old website. Please do get a personal login, though.

Anybody can:

  • browse anything but family private data
  • leave comments

Family members can, in addition

  • Read private data
  • Post or edit anything on the website

This is a test, and I’d like comments, praise, objections, suggestions, anything. If you find something confusing or ugly, let me know with email or comments, either here on on the website itself.Nothing is locked down at this point.

When and if people like it I’ll change over. At that point, I’ll write short “how-to” instructions on posting, uploading pictures, using the forums, and anything else somebody wants to know about.
