This is a black cat that lives around our house, has adopted us, in other words. She lives outside, has longer hair. It’s snowing here in Georgia, since around 2pm, started as tiny flurries and was getting thicker when this video was taken.

Gravatars
Your profile has an email address associated with it. When I created each of your accounts on this blog I added your domain name email to the profile, which you can keep there, or change that field to reflect another email address. It’s important to have an email address that is useful to you since in the event you forget your password you can self-care for getting it reset via email.
The other thing is that when commenting on any blog an email address is required, or being logged in on that blog in some cases. In our case only the people I allow to be registered can read or write anything at all. There are no guests of any sort. You must, therefore, be logged in to read any posts, or comment on any posts.
Have you heard of avatars? How about Gravatars? What is a Gravatar, and why might it be important to you? A “Gravatar” is a Globally Recognized Avatar. You associate your email address with a particular, to you, avatar. Then any place you log in with that email address will most likely be able to pull in your personal avatar next to your comments. This makes your comments look like yours. Easy to spot and identify.
Why might this be important to you on this particular site? We are siblings and we can have pictures that ID us to each other when we comment on each others posts and comments. It’s one easy layer that aides in communication.
If you do not set-up a Gravatar you will have a “monster” one generated for you here. It will remain faithful to you on this blog. It won’t travel with you to another blog though. Not that y’all ever comment anywhere else, you might, like two of you have been known to comment on one of my public blogs in the past. Vast numbers of people have Gravatars on the web. My own family doesn’t seem to have any, or have any contact online much at all.
I tried setting this sort of thing up before, but this time it’s better. It’s my own paid hosting site. It’s a domain unto itself as well. And it’s private.
So, please use any email address you wish for your profile, and get a Gravatar associated with it. I would love to have company with real Gravatars, not generated Monsters 🙂

My New Grandchild
This is a recent picture of my 5 month grandchild Julie. She is all bundled up for snow. Ben and his family live in Williamsburg Virginia. We have had 2 snow storms so far this year and a 3rd one this week almost hit us too.

Thank you Maisy
Thank you for designing such a great site for us to use.
Hopefully we can keep up to date with each other this way.

My Favorite Blue Cat
This post has a video embedded in it. It’s easy to get a video in a post. Just use HTML-like tags with “video” as the name, around a usual video link from YouTube and like services.
This embedded video ability is via a plugin that makes it nearly like magic to get video into one’s blog.

First Things
Welcome to the Sheller Girls blog on Shellfam.com!
I hope y’all will enjoy this site. This blog is the primary element of the site. Additional features can be added, but this blog can host a ton of content and it’s the only thing we’ll probably need to communicate, share information, pictures, etc.
There is a privacy feature installed which will not allow anyone access unless they can log-in. Please be sure to create a strong password, and change it as needed. You can access your profile in the Admin section on the left sidebar. You can change settings connected to your profile there. In the Admin interface you can also choose to make a new post, edit a post, upload media, mange your media, etc.
When you do create a post please assign a basic category to it. Please don’t create new categories. I will add one when needed for use. In general we will use Tags to further describe a post, employing just one Category to generalize what the post is about, or perhaps two if there is broad overlap. Such an overlap would be posts with a photo in it when it’s considered a dominant part of the post.
Make a new post when you need to. Do not use posts to reply. Use comments on a post to “comment” and talk about something.
I’ll update this information before releasing the site to y’all.
I’m including a photo in this post to share and to show what a photo in a post can look like. There are options on how to display when you are inserting a photo.
