Tip of the Week: Create an Online Journal for Your Child

Q. I was logging my child's life since before birth. I would now like to create entries online using pictures with text. I am concerned about the site I chose to be available years down the road. I read on applications where information can be easily added to an existing log. Are there sites and applications that you would recommend? - Amy Shreveport

A. A journal for your child is a great idea. In light of these memories have a lot of value later. Years from now, it will be able to learn what life was like when he grew up. It will also have something to do when he starts his own family.

Not to mention the blackmail material this gives you. I'm sure his future girlfriends would just love seeing those baby pictures!

The Internet provides some great tools to help journal your son's early life. Many of these are extremely popular, so I don't see them shutting down any time soon. They also offer backup or exporting features to keep your memories safe.

These sites are simple to use and easy to navigate. You won't be distracted by a lot of technical requirements, formatting or site management. Adding photos and text is a breeze. This allows you to focus on making new memories with your family.

The best services offer templates to automate some of the difficult Web-authoring tasks. This creates a much cleaner final product for others to view. Plus, they look great.

Online journals and blogs don't have to be publicly available. Using the sites' privacy settings, you control who who'll be able to see them. Your journal will be by-invitation-only and invisible to everyone else.

Facebook

Now, I assume you haven't been living under a rock and know about Facebook . It's the biggest social networking site around. It boasts over 750 million active users. You might be one of them.

Facebook's mission is connecting people and helping them share information. That's basically what you want to do, right? Facebook lets you share text with friends and upload pictures to albums.

New York/New Jersey Chapter

Our realities, our future, our tomorrow, will depend on how much effort we put into changing our circumstances today. A majority of the Guyanese with whom I communicate on a daily basis on the internet, on the phone, and even those I directly meet here in Guyana, are all of the impression that contentment in life means residing outside of Guyana. Their desire is to migrate to elsewhere, to greener pastures. I want to tell you, let me clarify, that it is not always greener on the other side. I as a young person in New York can verify this truth. Believe me when I say, just like here in Guyana, jobs are hard to get, an education is very expensive, and the nicer things we desire don’t come by easily at all. You really have to dedicate yourself to studying and working hard. Keep in mind, however, all of these things that make America great, did not just happen overnight. It happened because throughout her years as a nation – since having fought Britain for her independence in 1776, just like Guyana did in 1966 – the people (especially the young people) over centuries have ensured that the right decisions have been made, decisions based on reason. This is why it has progressed and advanced. Young people in the USA ensured that they empowered themselves through common sense approaches to the big issues of the day and on several occasions even demanding justice and liberties for all her people and struggling for the realization of these ideals. Ladies and Gentlemen, our youths need to see the potential of Guyana. And unfortunately, most of them do not. For instance, I had a conversation with two youths last night. They are so discouraged by the politics in Guyana, they said they did not care to vote in the upcoming elections. Although they agree that we need a change in the way how things are run (and that also Mr.
