The Family Tree
The Family Tree is a user-friendly genealogy chart that helps you record and map out your family's
history. With this tool, you can create detailed profiles of every single person in your family,
including physical traits, personality characteristics, and even a favorite saying or quote. The
Family Tree is perfect for sharing your personal history with all of your friends and relatives,
and it's a great way to help your children learn all about their ancestors.

Family Photo Album
The Photo Album is a wonderful way to share photographs with friends and family scattered all
across the world. The Flash-based interface makes it easy for anyone to quickly upload and
organize photos, and with features like the automatic resizing tool, you can be sure that your
online photo albums always look professional. You can create as many photo albums as you want,
and you will still have plenty of room left over for all your family members to create their own
personal photo albums.
|
Scrap Book
The online Scrapbook is a wonderful tool for capturing the most memorable events and holidays in
your family's life. Pre-formatted layouts and themes make it easy for anyone to add pictures and
captions to a basic Scrapbook page. Once you're comfortable with this tool, you will be able to
customize every inch of your scrapbook with countless combinations of fonts, colors, images, shapes,
backgrounds, and themes.
|
Blog
The Blog tool is an online journal that lets you and your family members share their thoughts and opinions with all the people who visit your Family Website. This incredibly popular technology gives
everyone in your family a chance to create their own blog to write about anything they want: the
family's summer vacation, a movie they recently watched, or any other special or important
experiences. With extra features like rich-text editing and the ability to add photos to blog
entries, you and your family are going to love creating and updating your own personal blogs.
|
Recipe Center
If you've been looking for a place to find delicious new recipes to impress your friends and family,
look no further than our Recipe Center. You will be able to access thousands of recipes collected
from professional chefs and outstanding self-taught cooks like yourself, and who knows, you may even
find a few "secret" recipes from some of the best chefs and restaurants across the globe.
|
File Cabinet
The File Cabinet provides you with an ideal way to store and share large electronic files in a
secure, remote location. It is almost impossible to send photos, music files, or large documents
using e-mail, but with the File Cabinet tool, you and your friends and family can easily upload
dozens of these files directly to one central, online location that all of you can access from any
computer connected to the Internet.
|
Calendar
The Calendar provides you and your family with an invaluable tool for organizing and managing all
of the birthdays, appointments, events, and meetings in your hectic schedule. Create individual
calendars for everyone in your family to keep track of their own important dates and events, and
maintain one master calendar to manage all the soccer games, dance recitals, PTA meetings, business
luncheons, and doctor's appointments in your family's busy life in one central location.

Character Studio
You ever wonder what you would look like as a cartoon? Why not experiment with your Family Website
Character Studio and find out? Mix and match your body size, eye type, nose and eyebrow shape with
a library of contemporary hairstyles and outfits. And while you're playing, go ahead and try on some blonde hair or see how you would look with a different nose or maybe a beard. The possibilities
are as endless as your imagination. With the Character Studio tool, you can animate all of your loved
ones - even the family dog!
|
Theme Park
Once you've finished creating cartoon versions of your family in the Character Studio, the real fun
begins when you get to choose a background for you family using the Theme Park tool. You'll find
a wide assortment of static and Flash-animated environments that allow you to place your family in
locations like the beach, Mount Rushmore, or even in outer space. You'll also have the option of
uploading your own photos as backgrounds, and even be able to set your Family Website as your Home
page on the Internet. With over 150 different Theme Parks to choose from, you're sure to find a
background that is perfect for you family.
|
Layered Password Protection
Instead of just using one general password to protect your entire Family Website, you have the
ability to create passwords for all the individual components and sections on your site. Every
single blog, calendar, photo album, and file cabinet can have its own unique password-even if it's
already in a safe, private area that is also password protected. With these extra layers of
security, you can be certain that only family and friends get in, and everyone else will be kept out.
|
Guest Book
The Guestbook tool offers you a fun way to keep track of everyone who has ever visited your Family
Website. Through your Guestbook, both new and returning visitors may leave messages, share their
impressions or simply just "sign in" to let you know that they were there. To protect the integrity
of your site's content, the messages are not viewable until you have approved them - giving you
control.
|
Free Family Domain Name
Everyone who purchases a Family Website automatically receives a free domain name with their new
site. If you're having trouble thinking of a unique domain name for your Web site, you can always
use our special Domain Name tool to generate a list of Web site addresses that incorporate your
family's last name.
|
Webmail
Once you have selected a domain name for your Family Website, you can create up to five different
e-mail accounts that use your family's name in the e-mail address. Each account automatically
comes with spam filtering tools, e-mail forwarding, plenty of storage space, and many other great
features you won't find with basic e-mail service.
|
Syndicated News and Information (RSS)
The Syndicated News and Information tool uses a popular syndication technology called RSS, or
Really Simple Syndication, to deliver real-time updates from a variety of popular Web sites directly
to you. Browse through our list of nearly 150 different content providers, covering topics like
local, national, and world news, travel, politics, sports, business, weather, and entertainment,
and we will automatically update your Family Website whenever updates are made to one of the sites
you selected.
