Mine is in my siggy.

You can get a free blog site from Blogger.com (I'm allowed to post that right, since it is a free thing?). There are others but that is the one that I am most familiar with. You just pick a template, give it a name, and start writing!

We have one also (see our signature). It's not updated quite as often now that we are home, but we still use it. Caleb's foster mom also just recently got Internet, so now they can see the updates also! Gotta love technology! --Mike

I don't talk about the adoption too much in mine, but it's http://1truelife.blogspot.com/ I use blogger, too. They have a pretty good help section, but it's pretty easy to set up.

We have a site that is specifically meant for adopting parents. Right now it is FREE if you sign up, they are going to start charging when it gets more popular. You can also set a password to it if you only want family to visit it. Our baby's is in our signiture. If you choose to visit it and want one, just click on the youbelong.net in the corner and it will bring you to their homepage where you can sign up. I HIGHLY recommend it, it really keeps our family updated. I have a few people who visit it everyday. Also, people can subscribe so that when you post an update it gets sent to them via email. If you want more info please pm me. Oh yeah, her page is in my signature.

BTW, I also have a regular homepage for my family that is only accessable by password. It is also on an excellent site that is free and easy to set up. If you would like to look at mine you're welcome to, but I don't want to give out the address or password without knowing who's going. Feel free to pm me about that also.
