To help limit the amount of spam that gets posted using the comments, you will notice a new addition to the commenting form on everyone's blogs. Essentially, it acts the same as before - but it has an additional item you need to enter before your comment will be submitted...

Easy. #1. Upload your home video to youtube. They spent a ton of money making this easy so just go to their website once you have a video to upload and click the easy to find yellow upload button. The site walks you through it. Note: the video upload to...

If you haven't noticed yet, we have a new addition to the homepage of mckinneytree.info! Above the list of the latest (20) blogs, you should see tabs next to the text "BROWSE RECENT BLOGS". If you click on these tabs, you can quickly browse the last 100 blogs across the...

I found some great old-school free games (produced by neave.com) that you will find under the games nav item to the left. Brian had a good idea, when you play and enter in your name for a high score, enter your first name followed by 'mckinneytree'. (for example: brian mckinneytree)...

The homepage and everyone's own blog landing page layouts have changed a bit. The new homepage shows the 15 latest blog entries throughout the whole site, featuring the most recent at the top and showing a few more lines of text from the blog as well. This means if someone...

You may have noticed Matt's blog is looking a little, well - a little different. Every once in a while - for the health of the tree, dead branches need to be pruned....

None of my comments have been urgent (and some may have been just plain lame), but I've noticed no final posting (yet) of comments we've made from St.L. to Lisa, Adam and Steven's respective blogs. If this is just normal delay - no problem (after all, Craig's getting married and...

Click here and install piclens ... This will allow you to scan all the mckinneytree family photos (that appear in the slideshow at top) at once by simply clicking the blue arrow that will appear on the tree at the left. I tried to build this in on the...

Big Shake-up this month .. Congrats to Team J (Jeff, Holly, Riley, Claire) and Team Pat (Mom/Gerry) for sharing the title this month (both beat Team H's high score of 50 from Jan)! Steven also put in a solid month and was just off the top spot. I've added...

The stats are in for January! Team Heather took the crown this month with an impressive 50 points. We're trying out a new leaderboard point system this month - I think it better identifies the top mckinneytree users. Each comment posted by a team to another blog gets 1 point...

The new multiple photo flash module is here! There are still some extra steps you'll have to take in order to use it - and in no way is it required or anything - but it is easier to implement then the first css/code version we were using. I'll go...

The stats are in for the month of December! Craig takes over the leader spot from me this month with over 500 views! Dad showed the biggest improvement climbing the leader-board from a 13th position in November to 5th this month (Nice improvement!). I can see already that the month...

NEW! Now we can chat on the mckinney tree - just look for the cbox chat box below the nav on every page. You can also go into the mckinney tree chat room at mckinneytree.info/tree_chat by clicking on "tree chat" in the site navagation to the left to see the...

Tip! I got a great question yesterday that I'm sure everyone either has already or will eventually wonder about: "Is there a way to look at all of the pictures that rotate in the slideshow at the top of the page?" So, the following is my e-mail response - if...

Those who do not post are at risk of being kicked off the tree. The first "banning" will occur after there has been no post for 2 months .. banning will grow progressively severe, ultimately ending in your branch being taken off the tree. Getting unbanned after the initial 2...
