The Fam

I really hope that whoever found the site through searching for “little boys in pictures” just needs a remedial course in coming up with good search terms. Otherwise - ewww.

Update 12/28 - This is not the site you’re looking for by searching for “boys in diaper pictures”, either.

There have been a number of changes made to the site recently. Here’s a quick breakdown:

1. There are some ads. I tried to make them as unobtrusive as possible.
2. There is an “Amazon Wish List” entry in the sidebar (on the right). This will randomly pull an item from the wish list we have set up for Zayne. The links are set up through Amazon’s associate program, which means that if you click the link to go to Amazon and buy anything, we get a little kickback.
3. Picture changes. The Pictures links in the sidebar no longer exist, and have been replaced by a general “All Pictures” link that goes directly to Flickr. The new picture link is right below the Picture of the Day link, which still operates as it has. This change was made because I believe Flickr is the best place to view the pictures, instead of making this site the go-between.

I’m also working on an easy way to add images to posts that link back to Flickr to help liven things up a bit.

I’ve added a new link under “Pages” so that I can post some of the small movies we’ve been taking with our digital camera. Quality’s not great, but I’m sure most of you won’t mind if you can see and hear Zayne.

I just wanted to remind everybody that this is intended to be an interactive website. Every post has a place for readers to leave comments. Simply click on the link at the bottom of the entry that says “No Comments” (or “1 Comment”, etc.). This will take you to a page where you can leave feedback. You don’t have to sign up - just enter your name and email (which will remain private).

I don’t know what you like or dislike about the site if you don’t tell me!

I’ve had a couple of comments about the pictures on the site. Some people would like to have access to them for printing, emailing, etc. Others would like to be able to view the pictures outside of the site. This is all very doable.

The pictures themselves are hosted on a website called Flickr. Flickr is a place where you can upload pictures, organize them into sets, tag them with unique keywords, and share them with other users. It’s really neat to be able to be able to view other people’s photos, or be able to view all photos with a certain tag (baby, for example).

You can access our photos directly at Flickr at this address. While you’re there, check out some of the services people have built that work with Flickr. You’ll see there’s even a screen saver in the list!

I’ve added a couple of new features to the site. Both show up in the right hand sidebar. (Over there ->)

First is a link to a new feature: the Zayne Picture of the Day. I’ll do my best to actually get a new picture up every day.

Underneath the link is a little item that says how old Zayne is. No practical use, but it’s cute.

Remember that this is an interactive site! Feel free to leave comments on stories and let me know what you think of things.
