Development of the Site

Thanks for all those who have left comments. Never be afraid to leave a comment - you can even remain anonymous. Also, you can leave a comment for an an old item. Please pass the the link http://mullaghbawntoliverpool.blogspot.com/ to the site to all your family, relatives and any friends you think may be interested. There is a great one left in the first posting by Beverley Murphy, granddaughter of Auntie Susie - she is now living in Toronto.
I welcome any item of news of family includIng:
- sporting achievements (send me details, up and coming events etc.)
- musical - are you in a band? have you gigs coming up? tell me about it!
- Irish Dancing? I would like features on this - it is an art form that should be preserved.
- literary and art interests? - authors, poets, artists - send me your details and I will publish!
- business links - if you want me to advertise your business, I will put your link on the site!
- starting a business? I can advertise on this site for free!
- buy and sell? if there is enough interest, we can start it up.
- looking for a job? tell us about it - some of us out there may be able to help.
- if you would like me to publish features of your family (including spouses) send them to me.

We must never forget the nine sisters and one brother were all married, and their spouses were an integral part of all our lives, so, if requested, they will all feature at some time or another. Likewise, children, grandchildren who marry, we want to hear about your sposes also (if you so desire).

This is all about networking and connecting. We have an amazing mixture of talented people within the family and we can share these talents both from an entertainment point of view, and from a working and business perspective. If you are starting a web-site - be sure to add links to other family web-sites. This helps the search-engines establish your domain. With such a large growing family, and the next generation having children and grandchildren, we can all help to get the younger ones a start in life. We can offer advice through the postings and comments of the site.
I would like to see where everyone goes to college and university. It is often been the case where we have cousins at the same college, and they were never aware of it. Aunties and uncles may live nearby, and it is reassuring for the new students to have that reassurance of family nearby, when they're living away from home for the first time.

Please let me know if you have other suggestions - I will welcome them all.
Cormac
