Do you blog?

Baby Boomers: Blog for your grandchildren.

It is a fact that Baby Boomers have grandchildren.  Some of you may have lots of grandchildren.  Now is the time to keep connected.  A blog is an easy, low-tech way to stay in touch.

Blogging is a technology that has been available for years, but now it's the hip thing to do.   If you have ever thought of having a travel journal or cooking lessons for your family, this is the way to go.

Doesn't it seem that the grandkids are far more advanced in technology?  They have a language of their own, and they rarely share.  Often, you will find kids on a computer, cell phone or mp3 player.  Catching their attention is difficult and you want to be able to communicate with them.

What would be some reasons to get a blog?

The whole family can visit a blog, anytime.  The pages never go away, so information is not lost.  Blogs are interactive. When you post to your blog, others can comment about that post. Blogs allow photos. 

You can't do all that easily with email.  It may sound technical, but Baby Boomers will find it's as easy as setting up a new email account.
