Okay I have started my own web page finally after many years of not having one. Here is the link.... http://www.freewebs.com/grandpabobs/ It is just a web page, nothing I will make money at so please visit. It is just starting out and not much on there right now. I do have a blog page on there. It would be great to get members and friends from myLot to check it out and add suggestions in my blog please. Do you have your own page as well? Woiuld you be kind enough to share it here please with me and other members? I have a few friends sites saved and would like to see others for ideas etc. Please visit and read my short blog entry and please add a comment as well as suggestions there. Thanks all. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Actually I didn't leave a comment, do I have to sign up or can I leave one without signing up? I tried leaving a comment on one friends page and had to sign up before doing that and then never went back again..

Hi, I checked out your web page. I've always wanted to get one started, and maybe someday I'll get to it. Did it take a long time to do yours?

freewebs.com It was simplew, eay, and quick. It took me awhile because I kept changing the layourt. Until I really liked it. You can handle it. The layour for editing and starting the site is very simple. No computer skills needed other than uploading photos. If you call that a skill. Thanks for dropping in. Did you leave a comment on my blog? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I just checked out your web page and I think it is really coming along nicely. I left a couple of suggestions but I am not good at things like that. I do not have a web page or I would gladly share it with you and others. Have fun with your web page.

I had so often seen Grandpa Bob written in responses here in Mylot, so it was nice to visit your web page! Congratulations! I particularly liked your "humble abode", as you call it, as it is just beautiful! What I would like to see is more pictures of the surroundings if you ever go for walks, picnics, or the like. Descriptions of your activities, like the Halloween Party would also be nice to read about! Yes, I do have my own page, which I prepare to communicate with family and friends all over the world. It is called Writing to you all! and this is the address: http://writingtoyouall.blogspot.com

Bob, great site! Looks like you've been working hard an getting it set up. I always enjoy learning a bit more about my online friends. you asked for ideas... my blogs are usually just simple things I think about. dreams, kids, politics, the size of a 2x4. Some write blogs about history or trivia. Book reviews or recipes are also popular. What you write on mylot, makes good topics for blog entries (well, except maybe the toilet paper thing. LOL) If your site allows for quick loading of photos, I'd like to see more of them. You, Deb, your kids, grandkids, and especially that little beagle of yours. Not that it's great, but here's my link...http://www.yuwie.com/creematee/ yes, it's a Yuwie page, someday, I'll switch to something better.

I can't think of any major suggestions for your website. That's the thing about personal websites; you can do just about anything you want with them. Sometimes, having so many possibilities can make it seem impossible to deal with. lol. I have a website, dedicated to my deceased son and our family's celebration of his birthday every year on October 25th. We have chocolate cake that day, in memory of Andrew, and in appreciation of all of the children we are blessed to have in our lives. It's a fun day, and I share it with anyone and everyone who cares to take part. Here's the link if you want to check it out: www.chocolatecakeday.ca Pretty easy address to remember, eh? lol. I also have a facebook group, and have created an annual event on there for people to take part. If you decide to take part in CCD this year, make sure you take a picture of your chocolate cake (or family and friends enjoying it), and I'll post it on my website. :) Karen

Karen, what a lovely website. I'm glad I got a chance to see it before the 25th as I am now going to be sure that my family has chocolate cake this Saturday in honor of Andrew. What a beautiful gesture and what a wonderful mommy you must be to all your children. I'm truly touched by it. Will have to let you know how our chocolate cake turns out. Stefanie

I visited your web page. That's neat. I love those beautiful fall-colored trees in your front yard! Here is my blog called Tidbits and Treasures http://tidbitsandtreasures.blogspot.com/ I've had it about 3 1/2 years. I've been a little sluggish in my posting this month, though.

I really like your website! It shows real character, I like your about me section and the blog seems to be coming along nicely! I was reading some of the comments, and it would be great if you posted some of your recipes online! I like the layout, and can't wait to see more of Grandpa Bob's website, and hear more about your life on this website! Once again, great job!

Well thanks very much. I will more than likely have a few more pages before too long. Gardening and tips, recipes, household hints and the such. All depends on comments and suggestions added in my blog. Thanks again. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hey grandpa, Good job so far! Your site is coming along very nicely. A collection of pics with a few words to explain them would be nice. Especially when your garden is thriving. I left you a comment, but forgot to put a name, so it shows up anonymous. That was not the intention..LOL You are good in the kitchen, so share some of your recipes, and some of those freebies sites. A review of your daily activities would make a good entry. Some activities in more detail than others. Good luck on your endeavor. I do not have a website as of yet. I work fulltime and as is can only get to some things on a daily basis. Someday I may see the light at the end of the tunnel to freedom..LOL Have a nice day..

I went and visited your web page, and saw your humble abode, that was also a cool carved pumpkin on there too. I don't have my own page, but I do have a yahoo360 blog, but I haven't been on there in awhile, guess I should go check it out and do some updating...lol. I'll have to see what my address is to it, and I'll give it to you, it does have a picture of me on it..haha. Have a good day

Hey grandpa bob! I just visited your new web page and I left you a comment. I made more mistakes in typos and formatting because I was nervous and I can't fix it! I think you'll like what I wrote though! It looks really good. I like the picture of the house and the snow falling and that great pumpkin! I know it's going to be a great site. Too bad that you don't get paid because it already looks pretty professional. I have no idea how to do any of that stuff. You sure seem to know what you're doing! Go see my messed up comment! Hope you like it!
