I mean that in the broadest sense of the word. Let me explain...
I've noticed more and more of us are creating blogs or sites of sorts and those of us who are family members especially seem to really be blessed by each others updates. However, we do usually end up cruising from one blog to the next, commenting here or there which does work but can seem a little scattered. Well as you all know I've been on a bit of an organizational kick and I ran across a way to create our own private networking site. (I know private networking sounds like a bit of an oxymoron but stay with me).
Anyway, I've created armstrongs.ning.com as a place for everyone who is a descendent of or related to, or related to a descendent of Grandpa Armstrong to get together and share, well everything. So even those who are not Armstrongs in the strict sense of the word (Watsons, Brewers, Browns, Boatrights, other Browns and so many others) are welcome, nay encouraged to join. We can upload photos, movies, blog directly on the site (and all of our blog postings will show up on the main page for all to see) discuss in our own forums, schedule events... you get the idea. I did restrict the site so that not just anyone could join and post because you never know who you're going to get. However, many of you will be receiving invites via e-mail from me over the next few days to join the site. If you don't receive an invite or if you just really want to be added before I get to you, shoot me an email or leave a comment on this post with your e-mail address and I will be sure and get you added.
I am super excited to see what kind of gathering place we can turn this into...
Can't wait to see you all there!
