Why not treat your journal as a Family Weblog? Blogs are a relatively new concept and are hard to define because they take on so many forms. In fact, many definitions of blogs describe them as online journals. However, if we look closely at blogs, we'll find many different variations which we can borrow from.

Linking - Some of the earliest blogs were simply a chronological listing of interesting links the author found on the Internet and wanted to share with friends and family. Basically, the author took the links that were sent to him or her in emails and instead of forwarding them to a few more friends, simply posted them to his blog for all to see. Give it a shot!

News and Opinion - Many blogs now focus on recent events. Bloggers use their blogs as ways to call attention to news that they find important and often - but not always - share an opinion about that news. Applied to family blogging, it seems quite natural. You might for example what to share a review for a good family movie or news about product recalls.

Reaching out - Many bloggers are simply reaching out to anyone who might care. Discussing their personal challenges and joys. Overcoming the challenges of parenting is quite difficult, you might find support found via your blog will ease your burden.

I hope this gives you enough ideas to get started on an interesting and rewarding family blog.
