The Strong Family Association of America, Inc.

Well. I wrote the entire Sharing our Knowledge series, and scheduled the articles to come out once per day. Two days passed, and nothing appeared! A bit of looking around with Google shows that many other Webmasters have hit the same problem. The “schedule a post” feature is broken in the latest versions of Wordpress. (Wordpress is the software running this Web site.)

I’ve wasted the past hour going through various peoples’ attempts to solve the problem. No luck! Fortunately, someone has solved it, and provided a Wordpress Plugin to fix it. And… it looks like it’s fixed! Kudos to 5ubliminal and the Scheduled M.I.A.s Plugin!

As I took over Webmaster duties in Spring 2009, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much information we do have available to our members online. We are now ready for more! Next time you stop by, look for…

• The 2009 Strong Family Reunion photos, including the Reunion Picnic, Stronghold Castle Tour, Dixon Historical Society, Official Group Photos, Reunion Dinner, and Walgreens Family Connection
• The Message Board, for general discussion and Historian Inquiries
• My thoughts on Sharing our Knowledge
• Photos from the Historian Archives project
• Browse around our Strong Family tree in the Genealogy section
• This Strong Newsletter, and all future Strong Newsletters

I hope you like the light and airy, slightly outdoorsy, “look and feel” of our site makeover!

What would you like to have on our Web site? Is there anything Strong-related that you’d like to share with the world at large? We have plenty of room for photos, articles, anecdotes – anything at all that we have permission to make public.

Send me any questions, suggestions, photos or other material:

We now have a Strong Family Association of America message board - open to everyone. You need to register to post on the board, but registration is free. (Otherwise we will be overrun by spammers!)

I opened areas for General Discussion, and for Genealogical Inquiries. If you would like other sections created, just let me know! The message board software is new to me. If you see any problems, or have any suggestions, please let me know right away!

The SFAA Directors-only pages are now open. See the link in the left column. To gain access, you need to obtain the password from J.E. (Jim) Gilbert.
