Your
Family Website is a valuable treasure trove of cutting-edge technology.
For the first time ever, you have access to the most sought-after
features and tools ever compiled in one convenient location. From our
online Photo Album and Blog to the Character Studio and File Cabinet,
your Family Website provides you and your family an entertaining and
safe place to play. To view a short, flash video presentation
describing each feature, simply click on the image next to it.
The Family Tree The
Family Tree is a user-friendly genealogy chart that helps you record
and map out your family's history. With this tool, you can create
detailed profiles of every single person in your family, including
physical traits, personality characteristics, and even a favorite
saying or quote. The Family Tree is perfect for sharing your personal
history with all of your friends and relatives, and it's a great way to
help your children learn all about their ancestors. |
Family Photo Album The
Photo Album is a wonderful way to share photographs with friends and
family scattered all across the world. The Flash-based interface makes
it easy for anyone to quickly upload and organize photos, and with
features like the automatic resizing tool, you can be sure that your
online photo albums always look professional. You can create as many
photo albums as you want, and you will still have plenty of room left
over for all your family members to create their own personal photo
albums. |
Scrap Book The
online Scrapbook is a wonderful tool for capturing the most memorable
events and holidays in your family's life. Pre-formatted layouts and
themes make it easy for anyone to add pictures and captions to a basic
Scrapbook page. Once you're comfortable with this tool, you will be
able to customize every inch of your scrapbook with countless
combinations of fonts, colors, images, shapes, backgrounds, and themes.
|
Blog The
Blog tool is an online journal that lets you and your family members
share their thoughts and opinions with all the people who visit your
Family Website. This incredibly popular technology gives everyone in
your family a chance to create their own blog to write about anything
they want: the family's summer vacation, a movie they recently watched,
or any other special or important experiences. With extra features like
rich-text editing and the ability to add photos to blog entries, you
and your family are going to love creating and updating your own
personal blogs. |
Recipe Center If
you've been looking for a place to find delicious new recipes to
impress your friends and family, look no further than our Recipe
Center. You will be able to access thousands of recipes collected from
professional chefs and outstanding self-taught cooks like yourself, and
who knows, you may even find a few "secret" recipes from some of the
best chefs and restaurants across the globe. |
File Cabinet The
File Cabinet provides you with an ideal way to store and share large
electronic files in a secure, remote location. It is almost impossible
to send photos, music files, or large documents using e-mail, but with
the File Cabinet tool, you and your friends and family can easily
upload dozens of these files directly to one central, online location
that all of you can access from any computer connected to the Internet.
|
Calendar The
Calendar provides you and your family with an invaluable tool for
organizing and managing all of the birthdays, appointments, events, and
meetings in your hectic schedule. Create individual calendars for
everyone in your family to keep track of their own important dates and
events, and maintain one master calendar to manage all the soccer
games, dance recitals, PTA meetings, business luncheons, and doctor's
appointments in your family's busy life in one central location. |
Character Studio You
ever wonder what you would look like as a cartoon? Why not experiment
with your Family Website Character Studio and find out? Mix and match
your body size, eye type, nose and eyebrow shape with a library of
contemporary hairstyles and outfits. And while you're playing, go ahead
and try on some blonde hair or see how you would look with a different
nose or maybe a beard. The possibilities are as endless as your
imagination. With the Character Studio tool, you can animate all of
your loved ones - even the family dog!
|
Theme Park Once
you've finished creating cartoon versions of your family in the
Character Studio, the real fun begins when you get to choose a
background for you family using the Theme Park tool. You'll find a wide
assortment of static and Flash-animated environments that allow you to
place your family in locations like the beach, Mount Rushmore, or even
in outer space. You'll also have the option of uploading your own
photos as backgrounds, and even be able to set your Family Website as
your Home page on the Internet. With over 150 different Theme Parks to
choose from, you're sure to find a background that is perfect for you
family. |
Layered Password Protection Instead
of just using one general password to protect your entire Family
Website, you have the ability to create passwords for all the
individual components and sections on your site. Every single blog,
calendar, photo album, and file cabinet can have its own unique
password-even if it's already in a safe, private area that is also
password protected. With these extra layers of security, you can be
certain that only family and friends get in, and everyone else will be
kept out. |
Guest Book The
Guestbook tool offers you a fun way to keep track of everyone who has
ever visited your Family Website. Through your Guestbook, both new and
returning visitors may leave messages, share their impressions or
simply just "sign in" to let you know that they were there. To protect
the integrity of your site's content, the messages are not viewable
until you have approved them - giving you control. |
Free Family Domain Name Everyone
who purchases a Family Website automatically receives a free domain
name with their new site. If you're having trouble thinking of a unique
domain name for your Web site, you can always use our special Domain
Name tool to generate a list of Web site addresses that incorporate
your family's last name. |
Webmail Once
you have selected a domain name for your Family Website, you can create
up to five different e-mail accounts that use your family's name in the
e-mail address. Each account automatically comes with spam filtering
tools, e-mail forwarding, plenty of storage space, and many other great
features you won't find with basic e-mail service. |
Syndicated News and Information (RSS) The
Syndicated News and Information tool uses a popular syndication
technology called RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, to deliver
real-time updates from a variety of popular Web sites directly to you.
Browse through our list of nearly 150 different content providers,
covering topics like local, national, and world news, travel, politics,
sports, business, weather, and entertainment, and we will automatically
update your Family Website whenever updates are made to one of the
sites you selected. |

popular sites in one place. For instance, say you need to purchase a
