| Introduction: |
| Hi. Welcome to "SeeMyJourney.com". This started out as me wanting to create a website for my goddaughter and my great nephew.
I pulled some ideas from my own website and that of my nephews and the result was "SeeMyJourney.com". I don't plan to market this site,
but wanted to make the idea, functionality and use available to people for a small cost ($75/year,
that's less than $7/month).

|
Functionality: |
|
- Ability to customize the site. The site is like one big template where you supply the information to make it yours. |
|
- Ability to keep a running journal
so your users can see what's going on in your life |
| - Ability to upload pictures (This is a key
differentiator to that of other products. Not only can you add pictures, but you can catalog
them by date taken, name, people, category, city, state, and date posted. Then your users can search on these).
You can use the website to upload 1 picture at a time or use the
upload tool I have developed separately which will allow
you to choose a directory on your computer, then it will resize,
create thumbnails, and transfer all the pictures to your website. |
| - Ability to upload video
|
| - Ability for your users to leave a message
and also comment on individual pictures |
| - Ability to add/delete users.
This is so your pictures are not out there for the entire internet
world to see. |
| - Ability to see who and when a user logged
in and also see when people are trying to login with the wrong id or
password. |
| - Ability to send an announcement to your users of a new journal posting.
Instead of your users checking the website to see if you added
anything, you can automatically send them an announcement letting
them know you have updated your website. |
| - Ability to create saved searchs as albums. You can create a search that returns the specific pictures you want. Then save it as a album. This album can be used as a shortcut to point your users to the pictures you want them to see and also you to have the same pictures in different albums. |
| - Ability to restrict certain users to only see the pictures and videos you want them to see. You can allow a user to see all pictures and videos, or you can allow them to only see the albums and videos you decide you want them to see. This is useful for those you may not be real close with, but have pictures/vidoes you want to share with them. |
| - Ability to choose from multiple layouts for your home page. |
| - Ability to be notified when a user has left a message for you. |
| - Ability to have either a picture or video of your choice on the home page. |
| - Ability to setup birthdays of friends and family. Once you add your friends and family birthdays, the website will automatically post an announcement on their birthday. |
| - Ability to access webcams...we'll sort of. If you have a webcam and webcam software you can have a snapshot from the webcam posted onto your website. This snapshot can be access by users on the site. You can also setup security so that the users can only see the webcams you want them to. Or you can just have access to it yourself. |
| Domain: |
| You also have two choices on how you would want your users to access your account. You could choose to have your own
domain name (i.e. www.[yourdomainname].com) or have it listed under this one (i.e. www.seemyjourney.com/[whatevernameyouwant]) |
| Demo: |
| To get an idea of what it would look like see my demo site at www.seemyjourney.com/demo.
You can request a demo login from the site. |

| Feel free to contact me and I can further explain how to use the site or answer any other questions.
