ABOUT BULLETINS Important news, tips, features and messages exclusive to Empowermom.com will be posted here. Occasionally, I'll post snippets and tidbits from the news or featured articles of interest to all of us. With today's technology, it's easier to keep info on the site.  This leaves plenty of time to keep the site updated and you don't get slammed with spam.
SHARE YOUR PASSION For most of us, life is an open book and we've all got at least one interest we're passionate about.  Many of us have more than one and enjoy sharing them with our friends, family and others. Empowermom's philosophy is that knowledge and passion are meant to be shared.  Passion is about cherishing your personal journey in life and the enrichment you receive along the way. The web allows you to share your passion with the world or just a select few.  Explore Empowermom and learn how to share your passions with the world!
DIY WEB DESIGN Whether a novice to web design or a seasoned pro, Empowermom's WEB DESIGN SECTION offers  information on everything from planning your website to the final touches of your design.  If you aren't the creative type or you're pressed for time, learn about utilizing templates and CMS's. Empowermom helps you find support when it's needed fast.  You can also learn about the nuts and bolts on web administration, site management, advertising, partnerships, and affiliates.   Last but not least, share a few thoughts on mentoring.  The WEB DESIGN SECTION is divided into several categories so you can find what you're looking for quickly.
CONSUMMATE HOSTESS Like Empowermom, most of us share a passion for food.  We also get tired of figuring out what to cook and interesting ways to serve it up.

07/29/2010 SITE CHANGES AND UPDATES

GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME.  WE ARE STILL IN BETA ...

but the final product is right around the corner!

As you know, Empowermom is all about helping others learn how to create their own unique web presence.  This site was originally built as an example of all the things you can do with a website and to provide step by step examples/tutorials to get you going on your own. Things change so quickly in the web world, it's hard for everyone to keep up.  As Empowermom learns, you benefit because she shares everything she knows.


Empowermom recently launched our entire social networking system.  You'll be able to create and maintain your own space for blogs, friends, family ... WHATEVER you want it to be without the hassle of creating all the framework, content management and administration. It's bound to be a great learning experience for all of us.  Explore the site frequently as features are being added and improved daily. 

Please keep in mind it's taken a great deal of time and effort to test each new feature prior to installation on the "live" site, so things have a been a bit slower in coming than initially planned.  I am still getting the kinks out of things and I'm trying to keep you updated with the list below. The good thing is, this will cut down on bugs and increase security so we can all enjoy all our new "toys" with minimal interruption.

CURRENT PROJECTS

  • Working on uniform Terms and Conditions for the Blog/Social Network.
  • Working on tutorials for the Blog/Social Network.
  • BLOGS, Social Networking and Comments systems are installed but may still have a few kinks.  I hope to be fully functional very soon.
  • BLOG EDITOR IS FIXED!  Have fun and post away.
  • COMMENT SYSTEM still has a bug or two. 
  • Member registrations have been reinstated for the MOMENT. Forum features "temporarily" disabled.  Once security is finalized, forums will be reinstalled.
  • Content is being transferred from old site and updated daily.  Check out some of our new members blogs!

Bear with us as things are a bit messy while I fine tune all the new features.  The good news is, everything is changing on a daily basis!   Think of it as a learning curve and play with whatever you find.


 

As always, enjoy your stay as you wonder through the halls of Empowermom and don't forget to let me know how we're doing.  Whatever your passion, Empowermom was created for you and with you.  With your help, the addition of new content, links and features helps Empowermom morph into something fun, exciting and, well, PASSIONATE!

What ELSE can happen?

LIFE has a way of throwing things your way when you least expect them and you aren't quite ready for them.  We have a standing joke (if you can call it that) around our home that is repeated constantly.  Never, ever, NO NEVER ask..... "Oh Lord!  What else can go wrong?"   When, not IF, but WHEN you ask that question, the Lord always answers.... and it's usually not the answer you expected...

I was thinking today, "When it's hot like it's been for the past week or so, does everybody go crazy?"

I've noticed this might be true. I guess most people just want to be somewhere cool... in the air conditioning somewhere and in a hurry to get there.  Me too, although I don't have air.   Everybody does things they wouldn't normally do, I suppose...
