Trial and Error

As you may have noticed there is little activity here lately. This is because my goal for this blog was ill conceived. I had intended that it be a way for all family and friends to enjoy the ongoings of the Cottle clan and to keep in touch and keep you informed. Unfortunately, the blog became available to those who wished to use it for other purposes. It is due to the few that I am changing the focus of this blog.

You will once again see activity here but the focus of it will be for ranch/rural life as opposed to focusing on our family. What does this mean for you? Simple:

1) I have removed the comment moderation so that anyone can comment without my pre-screening. You may post anything you like, but I will reserve the right to delete any comments that contain profanity, escalate into an unhealthy debate, or curse our Heavenly Father. We can agree to disagree without being hateful.

2) I have made this blog available to anyone for viewing so that you can link it and so forth to anyone you wish.

3) There will no longer be family updates, simply ranch updates. There will no longer be photos focusing on our family, but there will be photos of the ranch which may inadvertently contain photos of some of us.

4) Finally, the look of the blog will change as I tweak it to be more appropriate.

I hope that you enjoy the "new" blog.
