Hey all,
I was looking for the “best” way to be able to put in a baseline of our children and post updates. I did email your idea, Melissa, and am now waiting for a reply on that. One thing I did figure out on the site is there is a way we could all have a little “mini” page. If you click on “about us” on the right hand side it tells us the moderator has not yet setup an “about us” page, but gives us a link of “see all group pages.” If you click on that, you can see the test that I put in. There are some pros and cons about this.
Pros that I can see are no one can reply, so it would just be your post so it should be easy to read by any new or existing members. We can also put a post on our message board saying we updated our page (I was thinking each member could have their own page so when we were reading we wouldn’t get confused on who we were reading about).
Cons, it appears the only person who can create or update a group page is a moderator, so the info would have to be emailed to the moderator, then it would have to be posted on the correct persons site. I am willing to do it if everyone/anyone is interested in this option.
Also, I think if we decide to go with this idea we should get together an “about us page” so people can see something when they click on it. So, we would need some ideas on this also.
Another neat thing I have discovered is the “List/Resources” link on the right hand side. It appears anyone can create a list, so I was thinking it would be nice if we had a couple different lists to start…one of helpful tools (possibly list the baby babble dvd’s and any others), and another for links to websites. Before I did that, I wanted to see what everyone else thought about that too.
I would definitely like some input about all this and let some ideas start flowing. If anyone doesn’t like some of these ideas, please post so we can discuss too. I definitely would like this to become a great place for all of us to continue to share ideas and continue to support one another, but I also would like some of the information categorized so we can reference it easily later, and new members won’t have to read every single post here to get the most important tidbits.
Let me know what you think! :-)

| all those ideas sounds great.....um i'm not really sure what else to add..the resources is great. as for posting progress..what about a monthly forum....each month it's posted by a moderator..and we can reply each month with the little things our kids have done. That way we can review those our selves also and ask questions about how they got there that kind of thing |

I think it all sounds pretty good, although, I am still learning how to navigate the site. I get pretty turned around sometimes trying to get back to posts or change boards.
Hard to believe I used to build websites! hahaha

Okay guys, I got a response back to my email. These are a couple more ideas on how we could handle the progress reports.
1) You can use the regular message board and have a thread called "Progress Reports". As you mentioned, that thread can get pushed back, but we can also have a permanent link or button that clicks to to that specific thread, either inthe group description or in the About Us page (or both).
2) Another option is to creat a List called "Progress Reports". Each group member can add his child to the list as a "list item", and then you can click on the child's name and read or add comments.
With an of these I think we should still put up the "about us" page which I'm not sure exactly what should be on there...idea's anyone???
