Five Years of Lotsofkids.com! - June 5, 2008
|
Lots of Kids is 5 years old! It's amazing to think that 5 years ago we started this site with one small message board and a handful of articles. It has grown to a site with over a dozen forums and hundreds of pages and utilities! In celebration, we have added tons of new features, articles, and other goodies. Be sure to check out our birthday gift to YOU!
 We're having an online party and you're invited! Drop in and leave us a fun cyber-gift and a message. Click HERE to join the fun.
 In Features, two new interviews in our Working with Lots of Kids periodic. We sit down with author L. Shelby, and we feature a new interview with the webmaster of Lotsofkids, Michelle Lehmann. Plus a new Michelle's Musings (note, this is the June 2008 installment, we had previously linked the May issue).
 In Parenting, we have gathered a collection of noteable quotations and present them in this new compilation.
 We've gotten a lot of mail over the years. Read some of our favorites in the new LOK Mailbag.
 We add another feature to our 4th of July Seasonal collection, a new article on inexpensive ways to Spend Summer Close to Home.
 In our continuing effort to help our readers tackle the issue of laundry, we've added a new article Summer Laundry Catch-Up. Plus we've added some reader-submitted pictures to our popular Family Closet article.
 In our LOK-Kitchen, a new and seasonal Recipe of the Month. Plus an all new Cooking Challenge for June!
 We announce the winner of our Reviews Posting Contest in the Buzz Blog.
 We have gotten numerous requests to have the site translated into different languages for our foreign visitors. While we do not have the resources to undertake such a large endeavor, we are very happy to announce we have done the next best thing! We have incorporated a translator widget into the most of the pages of the site, allowing visitors to get a translation of the page into one of eight languages. Please note that this function is not available for the forums.
 For those of you who would like to get a little nostalgic, here is a link to an article explaining how Lots of Kids Got Started, which was written for our first anniversary.
 Plus new polls and tips throughout the site! And don't forget our special news below!
We are so happy to introduce that Lotsofkids has expanded! - As we have seen the growth of the large family online community, we have been doing our best to keep up. We are happy to announce our two new companion sites!
 Large Family Network is a social networking site much like MySpace. Connect with other large family parents, upload and share videos and photos, join and create groups, and much more. And it's all free!
 The Lots of Kids Organization is a direct extension of this website. It was created as a means of connection large families not only through the internet, but in their communities. The site is just starting, but we hope it will grow in the same manner Lotsofkids.com has.
A Special Message to our Friends and Visitors - In light of some of the recent financial problems our family has been experiencing due to unemployment, we have posted a special message to our Lotsofkids.com visitors about how you can help us during this difficult time.
