About
Welcome to jimazing.com. This blog/web site is a place where I can share my thoughts, feelings and beliefs with all who care. Recently I cemented the purpose of this blog when I found myself wondering about my grandparents and great grandparents. What did they think about when they were my age? What did they worry about? What did they dream about? What was important to them? What did they do for fun? relaxation? What irritated them? I cannot answer those questions. They didn’t leave a written record. No diaries or books. For whatever reason, they didn’t leave me many clues.
Because I want those kinds of answers for me now, I want to answer those kinds of questions for those who come after me. I hope that my children and their children will find this record to be helpful.
If you have suggestions for improvements, please feel free to leave comments here or you can email me here:
On the top banner, there is a menu that will take you to three different sections of the site:
- Welcome - The page you are viewing now.
- Home - My blog where I write whatever I want to. It is mine!
- Family News - This is what originally got me into this personal web site hobby. In 2000, it was getting close to Xmas and I was thinking about sending an e-card to all of my friends and family who had email… if you recall there weren’t many back then who had email. (Most of them were dialup juno accounts). I decided that the e-cards were cheesy and anyone could send one. I considered what I could do that would be uniquely me. The result was an online version of our family newsletter and a collage of photos from that year. The next year the tradition continued and on and on until the present.
- Photos - We have so many photos to share and Google’s Picasa makes it so easy to manage the photos on my computer and upload them to the web. So I have a single page that displays all of the photo albums for you to view.
On the lefthand side of the page are three menus:
- Pages - Presents the same menu that you see across the top… in case you missed it there.
- Annual Family News and Collages - Links to current and past family newsletters and photo collages.
- Blogs I read - Guess what? These are some of the blogs that I read.
- ClustrMaps - A World map showing who’s visiting jimazing.com
