After a small amount of discussion my family urged me to complete the family site so that the younger generation (my generation and younger) could get to know each other…
I considered Moveabletype but found that they changed their licensing structure. Since I have no idea how big this is going to get I went with phpnuke instead. It’s free and I can incorporate Gallery very quickly.
One thing that was done differently compared to my site is I used phpnukecops’s version of phpnuke. Why? It incorporated Googletap. This feature shortens and converts the urls to HTML which makes the web site searchable by the search bots (google, yahoo, etc). All is well and officially started in the family camp. Stop by every now and then to check it out.
