WHAT??? Where did my free time go?

I can't believe time is flying by so fast. I blinked and it was 2011. Not even January.. but almost MARCH!!! I can't believe it.
We have had so much fun developing on Modern Nana. About two months ago, we decided that we needed to make a change that would help our website stand out. When we started the site, it was going to be just a blogging website for a bunch of Nanas. As it turns out there are a bunch of people who love Modern Nana for other reasons. They love the social networking, they love the Modern Nana blog of the week and they love a new feature that we just created called, "the Blog Tree"
If you are like me, you probably follow countless blogs. Well about a month ago, I decided to clear my browser history (to try and clean up my computer). So the next day I went to go look for my favorite blogs and I forgot where they were, it turns out that I was just following my history links to my blogs. So I had to re-find all my favorite sites. BLAH!! It took me a while to find the all, (Assuming I found them ALL).
So that day, I sat down with the Modern Nana dev team and told them that we needed a solution for all the people out there who don't have a place to store their favorite links.

While meeting with the team, we came up with the "Blog Tree". This new blog tree feature is AWESOME!!!! You can now login to Modern Nana and save your favorite links, That way it is like a one time stop each time you what to surf through your favorite blogs. Also it makes it nice to gather all the grandkids blogs into one area.
If you haven't seen the blog tree, you should check it out. You can find more information here http://www.modernnana.com/member-features.htm.

Contact Forms and Weekly Blogs

Wow, I just looked at the date of my last post and I am shocked!!! Does time really fly by that fast? When we started Modern Nana, we really had no idea what we could do with it. Over the past few months we have met so many great people who are doing some really amazing things with their blogs. Thanks for all those who have been featured as our Modern Nana blog of the week.
We started doing something a little different than we had done before. We started to add some neat interactive features to our site. We have just added a new contact form to our site. Now you can reach us faster than ever. We had a few people request it, because they were saying (and I totally agree), it is not very convenient to have to always email a site if you want to reach them. We had one Modern Nana say, "It took me three years to learn how to email, and since I am very rusty, consider yourself lucky to even receive anything from me." HA Thanks PC!! You have inspired us. Now you won't have to deal with that email thing to reach us! Take care all.

Back to the Basics - Basic Recipe Power!!

Because of the high interest level for great recipes, we have partnered up with Basic-Recipe.com. We are now streaming the best recipes available online, right to Modern Nana. We have found that by working together we are able to reach a far greater audience. We hope that you enjoy the new articles and recipes streaming into the website. Have a great Day!

Getting a New Vibe for Fitness

We have now partnered up with another website. (I know what you're thinking, 'another one?') We find that the more knowledgeable people we can hook up with the more successful we will be. Fitness Payback has a great view on how people can control their physical health and their mental health. We are now streaming feeds from their website to place on Modern Nana. We hope you like the new direction that we are taking this. There are so many different things that we are learning every day. We hope that our readers can learn along with us.
Check out the new Fitness Page.

Swak Cards

We love making new friends online, one site that we came across the other day that we absolutely enjoyed was called Swak Cards. It is a custom card making group that has really made some amazing things. We contacted them the other day to find out more about what they were doing. We are currently discussing new things that we will be able to do together with them. We look forward to all the successes that we will have with them.

Great Response. Great Result.

We have been receiving great recommendations for Modern Nana Blog of the Week. We are so excited to share new sites from all over the United States (and even a few places internationally). With this new feature (Blog of the Week) coming soon, we hope that it opens up new doors for us.
We have noticed that more people are following us on Twitter, we are so excited for new faces and new readers. For those who are new, don't for get to check out our new "guest post" writing opportunities. This is a great way to enhance your online presence, and plug your business. We look forward to hearing from each one of you. :)

New Site, New Adventure

We joined up with a new online web company this week, we were featured on OurPetiteBoutique.com.  It's a fun little website, that is like a boutique directory. We love some of the things that we have found on their site. We started browsing their little store and found that there are a few neat things that we probably will try and go find later. You should check it out, it's pretty cool.
