Moving ?

June 4th, 2010 / posted by Jake

Our original site, lindseyandjake.com, has been around since 2003 when Lindsey and I first started dating.  Because we were both living out of state, we felt using the website would be a quick and easy way to provide updates for friends and family who lived far,far away and wanted to know how we were doing.  After we were married, we continued to utilize the website for this same purpose – to provide friends and family updates about our family.  More recently, we’ve been providing updates in 3-4 month increments which really has no value.

With the anticipation of our 3rd child, we thought it would be prudent to use the website as an active online family journal and focus more on purposeful updates, and better organization.  It is therefore our goal to update the website 3-5 times a week, just like any daily journal.  So rather than trying to bring everyone reading up to speed on our latest endeavors, we’ll just be blogging about recent highlights of our day and upload any relevant photos as well.

I’ve gone through and “tagged” everyone in all of the photo’s we’ve added throughout the years on the website, and will continue to do so.  Hopefully, years from now, this will provide us a way of quickly accessing all photos ‘Tyler’ was in etc;  I’ve also created a better mechanism for categorizing and archiving each entry which will prove useful when searching for all ‘holiday’ entries and so on.

So to summarize this into 1 sentence – the purpose and focus of the new website is for us, not for you.  But feel free to follow along   We will no longer be posting to lindseyandjake.com as all new entries will be on the new site:
