This is the fifth post today (Sunday), so for those who don't see this over the weekend, sorry there's so much reading to get caught up on!
I've recently made a few blog updates/changes. I've changed the template color scheme, the order of the widgets on the side bar, shrunk the blog archive to a drop down list, added the "News affecting our family" tool, and added a Google Calendar to the very bottom (the only place I could get it to reasonably fit).
Just because I made these changes doesn't mean they have to stay. If you want any changes, additions, deletions, etc., please let me know. This isn't my blog, but I'm just trying to add additional functionality.

Mike's lazy. He wants to know if there is a link somewhere that you can click that will take you directly to the bottom instead of having to scroll all the way down. Again, he is lazy. Also, he wants to know if we can do adds on the blog for money. He said, "The money from the adds can go towards the family fund, if there is still a fund since we don't hear about it anymore."
I think it looks great and I'd espeially like to draw everyone's attention to the 30th on the calendar. :)
Thank you, Jess! Maybe now grandma can remember grandkids birthdays -- and in-law birthdays that I can never remember!!
I did discover that you can't go too far into the links before you can't get back into the Motley Crew blog site. I looked that
BYU info and began to search the sports area -- and then couldn't get back to the main blog site. Is there something I can do to avoid that? I had to get out and come back in. I have the same problem with Lance & Nancy's blog. I can't get back to the main page after I've viewed their site.
I like what you have done. Kudos to you.

Well, I can help with a few of these things. First, I can't for the life of me figure out how to make an anchor tag in this "drag and drop" GUI known as blogger. So, I don't think I can direct you to the bottom of the page with one click. I'm too dumb to figure it out. I did add a link to a read-only version of the calendar in a new window (see the text on the top right of the page).
Mom, the news links always open in a new window, so you won't be able to go "Back" to the original blog. Check to make sure how many windows you have open.
I haven't added ads yet because I thought it would clutter up the page even more. And who's going to click on 'em? Yes, the family fund is still in operation. We haven't had any statements lately, but donations are still occurring.
I like the new look. Thanks, Jess.
I have the same problem with Lance and Nancy's blog and Chelsey's as well.
Oh, and Mike said the link at the top is great. I think so too.
