Welcome
Welcome to the Elder Barr Blog. A Blog (short for web log) is an online electronic journal. The journal is displayed in reverse-chronological order (newest information first). Please bookmark this site and come back every few days, and then read down the page until you are caught up.
For the next two years (February 2005 to February 2007) we will use this site to share the letters, pictures, and other information that we receive from Stephen while he serves his mission in New York. Stephen has promised to keep us supplied with information and we will do our best to keep this site up to date. I want this site to serve as an online journal and record of two great years of his life.
If you have comments, ideas, or suggestions for ways that this blog can be improved, please email Me (Jeff) at jeff@vertexdev.com. The style and format of this site will be improved over time. For now I wanted to get it up and running so that the record could start at the very beginning.
I should say a few words about privacy and sharing. It is ok to share the address of the site (http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog) on a one-to-one basis with other family members and close personal friends. However, please do not broadcast the address, link to it from a public site, or post it on a public forum of any type. This way it will remain open (avoiding the headaches associated with creating and maintaining user names and passwords) but still somewhat private.
Also, an important aspect of this blog is the fact that you can participate! Please feel free to add yoru own comments after each article. If possible, I will share some of these with Stephen. If you would like to write your own articles and share your own perspective on Stephen’s mission, please let me know and I will be more than happy to create an account for you.
Assuming that I can get Carmen to write, we will also have a Spanish-language section of this site.
