Use your smart phone and a blog to capture your family story!

If you've got a smart phone, use it to help you capture your family story as it unfolds. Blogger and Wordpress are free blogging sites, and both have smart phone apps that can combine text, photos, and videos on-the-spot blog to create blog posts. Blogs can have multiple contributors, so family members who live far away can tell part of the story, too. Make your blog private, if you'd like, so only those you invite can view it.

Because those blog posts are stored in the "cloud", they won't disappear if you lose your phone or accidentally delete everything when you upgrade to your next phone.

Waiting until you have "more time" to begin recording memories means that you're losing precious moments along the way! To get started, go to www.blogger.com/start or learn.wordpress.com/get-started/.
