Here’s a quick way to stay in touch with your family

It’s easy to lose track of what’s going on with your family sometimes. Especially if you have a large family, lots of kids and family-internet3.jpggrandkids, and everyone is going in different directions. I’m from a family that is spread all across the US also, which makes it even more difficult to keep in touch.

So, the thing most of us have done to keep in touch is to get in tune with email, or some have even gone the MySpace route to bridge the gap between us and the younger generation. There are lots of options out there to keep in touch with family over the internet, but one that is easier than you might think is having your own website. With your own website or blog, you are able to keep all of your loved ones informed about what is going on with you in your life at once. This allows for consistent communication without the back and forth of email.

And it’s much easier than you might think. I recently set up a new site with a blog on it in about an hour with some help from the guys at Loudsign. And it’s also not nearly as expensive as you might imagine. You can get out the door with a package from Loudsign, that covers two years of web hosting and your domain name for less than 70$! It’s true, head on over to view all the packages Loudsign has to offer here.

If you don’t have the time or energy for a website of your own, you can keep in touch with those family and friends with the Loudsign Online Photo Filer. This is a great service that allows you to share, print and manage all your photos online. More information about it can be found here.

So, don’t mess with the spam zone that is MySpace, and save your email for personal conversations. But if you want to keep in touch with all of your family at once, get a website started with the good folks here at Loudsign.
