LABrodeurs.org

I finally switched the photo album over to a more feature filled software program. The “new photo album”:http://www.labrodeurs.org/coppermine/ is now up and running. You can check it out by clicking ‘new photo album’ under the Navigation table to your right. There’s some new “pictures”:http://www.labrodeurs.org/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=8 for your viewing pleasure.

Kyle gets his 6 month checkup tomorrow. Wish him luck with the shots. We’ll post with his vital statistics tomorrow night.

OK, I figured out how to change ‘Themes’ and we’re back to the old website look. Phew, what a chore. I also updated the chatsworth “rain”:http://labrodeurs.org/rain/ totals. We got 3.1 inches over the last couple days. We probably got a half inch more today, but I haven’t checked the rain gage. Have a great weekend!

I upgraded the website to the latest version of wordpress. Apparently the way it deals with the ’style’ of the page is different, so my old format is not working (with the moon in the header bar). Bear with the website until I figure out how to use the new Themes. In the meantime labrodeurs.org will be using the default theme from wordpress 1.5. Kinda ugly, eh?

I added some new pages to the website today. The first one Meghann is not going to like, but I think it keeps people involved in the baby progress. In the navigation section you’ll notice the link to “track”:http://labrodeurs.org/weight/ Meghann’s weight. It’s actually just her weight gain, so no, you can’t find out how much she actually weighs. I’ll update it each week until baby comes. Perhaps after that I’ll do a baby weight chart.

Secondly I added a link to Chatsworth “rain”:http://www.labrodeurs.org/rain/ totals. We’ve been trying to keep track of the rain this year, and boy have we been soaked. 27 inches so far. That’s far more than a normal year. Between yesterday and today we are up three more inches! It’s so nice not to have to pay for water to fill the pool or water the grass. If only it would rain over the washing machine.

The website is finally up and running! There were some initial quirks that had to be ironed out, and a wiping of the database to start fresh. So, this is the first post to the new website. In the coming months, we hope to keep family and friends apprised of news from the growing Brodeur family. We’ll post comments about our doctors office visits, happenings around the house, and even host a few photos in the near future. Look out for updates soon.
