I spent most of the day today making some updates to my latest venture: the MissionaryLetters.com web site. It’s a place for parents to easily share their missionary’s letters with friends and family in a blog-type site, without all of the geeky stuff involved in making a site. And at a very reasonable one-time cost.

Sort of excited about this site; it has potential. I think that sharing a missionary’s letters is a great thing for a missionary’s extended family, and their friends. Their experiences can be quite impressive and encouraging to others.

Of course, like most of the sites I do, family gets a significant discount (as in free) if they want to have a site for their missionary – I am old enough that nieces and nephews have children old enough to go on their own missions. I never did go on one, but want to encourage others.

So I came up with the idea, found a great domain name, and used my WordPress experience to build the place. Now, it’s a question of promoting it so that it will be found. I am mainly doing it through social media (mostly Facebook), hoping that others will share. And I’m doing some SEO stuff to the site over the past week to help the site show up in ‘the googles’.

Also working on one of the other sites that I’ve had for about a year. Lots of testing on that site to make sure it all works. More on that another time.

And preparations for the big anniversary trip to the ‘mouse place’ – the whole family – children and grandkids – are going to be there. That should be great fun!
