Accelerated Adolescence

@dornbrook.com

I promised Nathan that I'd post about this in March. Sorry Nae. This is, in effect, an open letter to everyone who reads my blog but, mainly, to Nathan, Rahmat, and the rest of my family.

My concern is that we all have these fabulous accounts here at dornbrook.com. We are able to post our blogs, read one another's, comment, have a jolly field day. However, at @dornbrook.com we have email accounts that we can use to communicate with the rest of the world. And, let's be honest, for myself, Nathan, Maman, Papa, and Rahmat what is cooler than having YourName@dornbrook.com? People look at that and think, "Someone in the family is a web genius!" Ok, its Nathan, but they don't need to know that, they can think that it's you! (For Rachael and Mara, I think that the only thing cooler would be YourName@YourLastName.com)

However, there are, admittedly, a few problems with this. The blogs, I think, became very popular because Mara became a huge participant on the blogs. Mara isn't any cooler than Nathan; she's more accesible to the rest of us. Mainly, she responds to our emails/calls. Unfortunately, the two administrators of the webmail @dornbrook.com are Nathan and Rahmat. I love them both dearly and think very highly of them but, ahem, one lives in Argentina and has an active and thriving life there and the other lives in Edinburgh with an active and thriving life there. Now, why don't the rest of us have an administrator that is available, say, without a life that is interesting, albeit active? Nathan, I feel that we, the dornbrook family, are more likely to begin using @dornbrook.com webmail if you, say, spend an hour or so setting me up as a site administrator and giving me a little bit of education on that. If anything, I can dole out new passwords when they are forgotten.

Please, use this forum as well as Nathan's blog to post obnoxious comments or to make productive suggestions about @dornbrook.com.

I would like to start the bidding:
Nathan, is there a way that we can integrate the dornbrook.com mt weblog with our @dornbrook.com webmail such that signing in to one or the other gives us access to both? That would be a great way to get people to use the email feature!
