December 19, 2010October 15, 2010New Feature: Comment Subscriptions

March 17, 2009March 14, 2009July 20, 2008New tree games!
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...
May 21, 2008April 10, 2008Log jam?
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...
March 12, 2008March 2, 2008February 2, 2008january leaderboard
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...

NEW! Some functionality has now been added to the featured blog modules on mckinney tree's homepage. You will find that within everyone's blog brief feature there are now tabs (numbered 1-3) that allow you to quickly cycle through the last three posts by the author. In addition, I added a...
September 24, 2007Spam target?
Dear all-knowing hedgeballs - I'm occasionally getting posts to our blogs for approval that appear to be randomly generated alphanumeric characters in blocks of "word sized" text. Thus far I just don't approve those messages, and subsequently ignore the email. It's not a problem for me (I get other email...

For anyone interested in blogging back to the future - here's a quick explanation of how to schedule, publish and unpublish blogs. When creating an entry, just above the send button, that is a pull down menu that is automatically set to "Published". This means when you click the save...
August 3, 2007tip - going home
Some people may have noticed that if you roll over the 'mckinneytree.info' text in the header (under the branch/photos) a word pops up. A few people mentioned they thought it said 'note'. It actually says 'home' and I apologize for my poor penmenship. :) If you would like to return...

July 31, 2007July 28, 2007new! alias e-mails
To keep everyone's personal e-mail addresses confidential from any website passer-byers, I have set up alias accounts for everyone via mckinneytree.info. When you visit the tree network (address book, if you prefer) you can view everyone's new alias e-mail addresses. These will definitely help with remembering each other's contact easier...
