RSS Feeds!
Friday, September 1, 2005

We now have both incoming and outgoing RSS feeds live! That means that you don't even have to visit our site to see our newest pictures or to read our discussion board! If you're interested, the discussion board feed is located at www.colinandbethany.com/phpBB2/rss.php. Just copy that link into myYahoo, Google Desktop, or wherever you read your news, and our newest entries will start to show up. Likewise with the gallery... each album has its own RSS feed, so if you go into any album you can subscribe to it.

Using Google Talk via GAIM
Thursday, August 25, 2005

Google Talk is nothing special for techies. I mean, if you've never used a full-featured instant messaging program, like AIM or GAIM, or a VoIP-ish program, like Skype, it will all be stuff you've never seen before. At the same time, we all know that Google doesn't do stuff halfway, and surely it will be a major protocol in a few years. As such, I leave my instructions on how to use Google Talk over any Jabber interface, such as GAIM or Apple's iChat. Click here for more.

PICTURES FROM ALBANIA
Tuesday, August 24, 2005

Yes, it's true, Vella & Motra Jensen have finally uploaded photos from Albania. Sure, there are only fourteen, and only three have Sonja in it and none of Dick, but there's a video! Sure, the video is 10 seconds long and Dick is way in the background, but the point is, it's there. So click anywhere here to go to the album, or click our new "Newest Pictures" link on the left.

August 2-4: Mark Tofanelli's in town
August 4-7: Bushman family reunion at a cabin outside Torrey, Utah

...and a zillion other things every single day, but those were the biggest 7.

Colinandbethany.com is more popular than ever! We have surpassed 200,000 visits, and 50,000 unique visitors! That means fifty thousand separate people have visited our site, and they've been here a mean average of four times apiece! On our top day, we were around the 20,000th most popular website on the web (out of the tens [and more tens] of millions out there.) As always, 75% of our traffic goes straight to the genealogy pages, but we have loyal visitors in all the other sections, including the discussion boards.
