Adding Interesting or Usefull Documents

If you check out the section "File Share" on KellysWorld you will find some interesting, maybe in useful documents. The list is currently short, but I will add to it in time as I find documents that I think others may find useful or simply interesting. I've started the collection with a spreadsheet I created for helping in my search for a new home back in 2002, along with some government and political documents. Included with these are the United States Constitution as well as the Declaration of Independence. With both documents the US Archives have made the original documents available for download as either PDFs or JPEGs. These digital versions were made from high resolutions scans taken of the documents. I've included readable transcripts as well the scanned versions. You will notice that the scanned versions are showing serious signs of age; but then how well will you look in 200+ years? The document to the right is a digital scan of the Declaration of Independence.

If you know of a document that I should add to the site, please let me know. You can check out "File Share" HERE.

Personal DVD Collection -- Update

Some of you may have noticed that last year i added a link to the family DVD collection (a feature that existed early on in KellysWorld history but that was removed in 2005), as well as books and video games. I hadn't updated the list in some time and now I don't think the video game collection is relevant with so many of them counting their age in years. The book collection isn't very up-to-date either, just haven't added them into the database we use. So the new list includes a complete list of all 277 of our DVD's, but does not at this time include video games or books. I have yet to determine if I will add them at a later date or not.

The DVD list alone is quite extensive and represents many different genres. Each DVD includes a link that allows you to send us an e-mail requesting to "Borrow" a particular DVD. If you see a movie you would like to watch, you are a friend or family and you live nearby; then feel free to drop us a line. We can't watch all 277 at once.

Also included are some of my personal favorites with links to IMDB (Internet Movie Database) for information on cast and crew, Rotten Tomatoes for movie reviews and to Amazon if you are interested in adding that movie to your collection. The database of movies also includes a link to Amazon for every movie; even if it is no longer available.

Tracy Updating Her Site

The other day I posted that finally CoffeeTalk, Tracy's personal blog, had returned. Tracy has started making some entries, so you should check it out. In her latest entries she talks about the dinner party that Courtney had last weekend as well as her return to the world of blogging. I have no doubt that these are just the first of many entries to come.

Welcome back Tracy!

I've made it real easy to get there. Just look to the right and you will see CoffeeTalk in the main menu; or just click on the image above!

Return of CoffeeTalk

If you have been reading this site for a long time, you might remember that Tracy had her own blog for a while. When I made the move to my Mac I switched to a client side based web authoring program and lost the ability to easily control where her blog (or journal) appeared. Recently an add-on to RapidWeaver was released into Beta and this add-on gives me the ability to sync her Blogger Blog to my website. What does this mean? Well it means she can independatly update her blog using Blogger and then just tell me she has done so and i can quickly sync it over to my main site. Her Blog is now tied into KellysWorld keeping the same look and feel as the rest of the site.

You can check it out now by clicking on CoffeeTalk to the right of this entry in the main menu, or simply go to her page directly at http://www.kellysworld.net/coffeetalk.

More Photos Added

I've added more photos under the Family Archives section of the site. For now I am just pulling all photos of Mom, Dad and Brion; my eventual plan is to limit these photos to the more distant past. I'm still going through and dating photographs and creating various albums in iPhoto. I will add more photos hopefully over the next several days. Trying to get a bit more work done on this site and EternalMagic. You should be able to view the photos just fine regardless of the system you are using. The photos will show-up in a Flash slide show that should play in most browers, including Dad's.

Don't Bookmark Photo Page Links

I would suggest not bookmarking any of the photo pages on my site, at least not for the time being. The file structure is not what I prefer at the moment, so it the coming days I will change it. I wanted to get the site up and live, but the photos were added at the last minute. While they all work fine, the file structure needs work. Nothing major, but I wanted to warn those that might be inclined to bookmark individual albums. In any event, it is best to just go to the main page and then work your way to the album of your choice. I seldom keep things very stable and love to move things around. I get that from my mother.

Updated Eternal Magic Journal

Check out the Eternal Magic Journal, it has actually been updated. Okay, so it is just one post, but one post is better than none... right? The entry is all about our wedding rings and some of the current plans for the wedding, now less than 11 months away.

New Look for KellysWorld.net

With the new year I have given KellysWorld a new look. Some of you had said the old look was too dark. I personally like that black look, but decided I would give some different looks a try. Not hard to make those changes, so why not!

Check out KellysWorld.net and let me know what you think. I think in the next few weeks I will put up screen shots or test pages with different looks to see what everyone likes.
