Well, I've gotten all 48 of our existing blog posts from my MySpace and from Dragona's MySpace and from our Sandbox and from my Yahoo! 360 (except for the poll I posted there, but I'll catch that one soon too). However, I still need to transfer all the comments and those are going to be interesting because QSFP doesn't really allow for posts by non-members. So on the comments that were originally posted by folks who are no longer active on our membership here, I'm planning to credit them as being posted by Guest and last edited by the person who really posted it, it's the only way I can think of to get their name in correctly.
Fortunately, the vast majority of the 103 comments that I still have to transfer were made by one of the 8 people who are already registered as members here. In fact, if I can get Kiasyn & Tom Green to register here, I'll only have a couple of those 103 that I won't be able to 'properly' credit towards someone's post count.
I'll either add another post to the front page news like this one when I get the comments finished or I'll comment on this post, I haven't decided which yet. Either way, once the outstanding comments/replies have been transferred (which involves copying/pasting them in as replies here then going into the database and correcting their time/date stamp and author fields), I'll go back and lock most of the old topics (blogs with comments) so that we're only watching for responses to the more recent ones. I'm figuring topics that are a month old are probably not really needing to remain open anymore.
I have set up a general chatter forum for folks to add in their own two cents if you want to regarding anything we haven't already blogged about. If we find that that section is growing beyond just a MySpace style Comments, or what other sites are calling ShoutOuts type thing, I'll be happy to add additional forums for you all too, just let me know.
Also, for those of you who are interested in using this site for your own blogs as well: Click on the Members link on the Nav Bar at the top of the page and find your name there. If it's listed as being in the "Immediate Family", "Extended Family", or "Family Friends" groups, just drop me a PM (Personal Message) and I'll get you set up with a forum of you own. Do me a favor though, in that PM, please include what you want your blog (forum) to be called. (Like my blog area is Conner's Corner and Dragona's is Dragona's Den, etc.. yes, I'm trying to keep each person's area to something cute and, ideally, house related...).
Anyway, for a quick update to indicate that we've got all the blogs transferred to here, this is turning into quite the rambling, so I'll leave off now, though I will note that we've a doctor's appointment tomorrow (later today?) regarding the new baby, so you can expect to see a new blog post by either Dragona, myself, or both tomorrow night. ![]()
The opinions expressed here are our own, and those of the people who respond.
If you don't like what we have to say, you can leave now.

So now I'll see about adding that poll from my Yahoo! 360 site that I mentioned earlier...
Oh, and locking the older topics and all the blogs on the old sandbox site.. maybe I'll post one blog everywhere to indicate that we've moved our family blogs to here too... Though I'm not sure that I want to go fully 'public' until June...
