Release #5 - New Features Added Today…
Blog!
Of course family groups are the best way to keep your family connected. But we’ve heard from so many myfamily.com users that they are looking for an easier way to keep friends and family not in a family group updated on life’s happenings as well. And many of you want a personal space to chronicle your life events. So today we’re really excited to announce that you can now start your own personal blog on myfamily.com!
To get started, just visit your myfamily.com profile page, click on the blog tab, then click the “Start your blog” button. It’s that simple.
As with your family groups, you can post news, photos and videos. Also, sharing your blog is as easy as sending your blog URL to anyone. They don’t have to be a member of myfamily.com. Very soon, we’ll introduce privacy setting options, the ability to ‘follow’ a blog and much more.
Email Notifications Updates
Group activity notification emails have been significantly enhanced. You can receive email notifications when someone comments on content you’ve added or something you’ve previously commented on or ‘loved’. The emails now tell you who in your family group made the comment and/or loved an item, and includes the actual comment in the email. So now when you get your email, but don’t have time to get online, you’ll at least know what’s happening.
And, for each group you belong to, you can decide whether or not to receive a daily email that contains a list of all the new content added to the group.
Full Screen Slideshows
You can now view your family group photos in a really cool, much larger slideshow! Whether you’re looking at all the photos on your family group, or just those by one of your members, or those in an album, the slideshow will work. Simply click on the new ‘Play Slideshow’ button at the album view or in the context of the photo stream. You can navigate through photos using previous/next buttons as well as auto-play with the pause/resume button. The title of each photo will also be displayed.
New Filter/Sorting Options
The filters and sorting options have been redesigned, improved and added to, making it much easier to find photos, videos, discussions and any other piece of content on your family groups. There are also new options when sorting by member, like the ability to display only the content that you have uploaded or the content that has been uploaded by specific people.
Tag Search
Now when you search for multiple tags, the search results will only show items that contain all of the tags you’ve entered into the search box. This makes all of the content on your site easier to find.
