I heard from one of this blog’s silent readers<\/a> last night that I’m too light on Ava content and too heavy on irrelevant, uninteresting content.\u00c2\u00a0 Other than Leah’s constant harping about tech-related posts, I think it’s the first feedback I’ve had on the site’s content.\u00c2\u00a0 I sure do appreciate<\/em> <\/a>it!<\/p>\n

In response, I guess I’d say that this blog is as much for <\/em>Ava as it is for people to keep up to date on Ava’s comings and goings.\u00c2\u00a0 I think our daughter might find it fascinating someday to look back on this and marvel at our concerns, interests, opinions, and — most of all — love for her.<\/p>\n

And as I write this, it occurs to me that I really should open up this blog to all the members of Ava’s family who are interested in leaving her little notes.\u00c2\u00a0 I mean, if you’re not happy with what’s on this blog, why not write something you are <\/em>happy with?\u00c2\u00a0 I’m sure Ava will appreciate it.<\/p>\n

So what I’ve done is given “author” privileges to each registered Avablog user who’s related to Ava by blood or marriage.\u00c2\u00a0 Now, when those people log in, they’ll be able to make a post to the blog.\u00c2\u00a0 So that those posts aren’t available to the whole world, simply change the Post Level pulldown to the numeral 1 (the pulldown is located just below the lefthand corner of the post writing window).\u00c2\u00a0 If you do <\/em>want the entire Internet to bear witness to your thoughts, leave the pulldown at “Public.”\u00c2\u00a0 (It’s not that scary, really!)<\/p>\n

Ever find yourself in an idle moment, wondering what Ava’s doing right then?\u00c2\u00a0 Well, hop online and let her know you were thinking about her!\u00c2\u00a0 She’ll love you for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
