The software upgrade is complete now (it took a while, mostly to backup the older versions of the files from the FTP server).  We’re running the latest WordPress software to drive the blog (as of this writing, version 2.8.6).

The visuals should be a lot cleaner than earlier versions, and I’m certainly open to suggestions about what you do and do not like (colors, fonts, layout, etc.)  In particular the logo graphic at the top is sort of a place-holder for now.

As mentioned before, I hope that this becomes an easy way to maintain a central “family newsletter” style blog — people can post pictures and general info about whatever’s going on at the moment.  So if you need any help getting set up, or posting articles/pictures, etc., just drop me a line and let me know!
