Between Becky and me, there are two siblings, four parents, five grandparents, 25 aunts and uncles and 14 adult cousins. That’s 50 adult people. Most of these family members have a computer at work, school, or home, and most of them have Internet connections.
According to a recent* ***Pew Internet|http://www.pewinternet.org/*** ***phone survey|http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/113/report_display.asp***, 13% of adult internet users said that they maintained their own personal websites. 13% of 50 is 6.5 people… so one might conclude that in a family with 50 adults, you would expect to have at least six people with a website. Well, Becky and I have one, so that’s two, and Corey ***has one|http://corey.prwdot.org/***, so that’s three… but that still leaves us with three more people who ought to have a website of some sort. (Note: Even if we were to remove five people from our sample because, for whatever reason, they weren’t able to use the Internet, that would still leave at least 5 people who ought to have a personal website.)
Now, I know that many of our family members read this blog, so I’ll put the question to you:

Dear Woods, Keefers, Lowes, and Quitadamos,
Where are your websites? Do any of you have personal websites that we don’t know about? If you do, please leave us a comment so that we can check them out! If you don’t, and are interesting in setting up a website, leave us a comment and we will help get you started!
Sincerely,
Peter and Rebecca Wood

* Actually, it’s two years old. So if anything, I would think that the percentage would have increased since then…
Could it be for the classroom? I would like that.
Love, Mom
I, Sue Hunt, accept the responsibility to increase the Q’s #s in website ownership. Would hate for us to lag behind the national statistic. Of course, this means frequent consultation emails…you realize this, don’t you?
Mom:
Technically speaking, a classroom website wouldn’t be a personal website. But if you have a vision for what you want as your classroom website, I would be happy to discuss setting it up for you.
Sue:
We would be happy to give you any advice or assistance that you need to set up your personal website. 🙂
