should dis have a website?
I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether the DiGennaros should have their own domain name. Blogging has worked pretty well for sharing info and pics, but with our diverse interests, it might be useful to have www.digennaros.com, and then (If I understand correctly, we could all have pages like simanelle.digennaros.com, savethewhales.digennaros.com, dangerrocketfuel.digennaros.com, etc. Along with accompanying email addresses, of course.
Now, if our parents had trained us to uncritically adopt any new technology that comes along, this would be a no-brainer. Maybe a blog serves our purposes ok. But it might be interesting . . . . and I could think of benefits like having a digennaro presence on the web. This could be a platform for networking, creating an interesting place where our relatives could meander in DiGennaro-land for a while to find out how they are related to us, which continent who is on, or how they can support our causes. It could also be a platform for self-expression: showcasing artwork or essays, providing information on how to build a straw house, what books to read to learn about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, which vaccinations to avoid, etc.
What do you all think?

digennaro is taken (unless we want .biz, .info, or .ca)
digennaros.com, .org, .net, and the others are all availible.
you are right about the "subdomains" (something.digennaros.com)
i think it's a lovely idea, and it would make me feel cool, too, with my name on website and all.
we have multiple options:
A: Dreamhost.com has been recomended to me --$8 a month for everything we need and more. ($192 for two years)
B: Very cheap webhost that may work for what we need: $3/mo.
C: Run it off my computer, get a domain (digennaros.homelinux.com -- free) or (digennaros.com -- $10/yr) This would only work if we weren't expecting to have many visitors---friends and family would be fine, but if we were running a business website, we would probably end up with too much bandwidth.
With A, (maybe B) or C I can use Wordpress, a blog system better than Blogger, and we can import our existing blogs (tests show that the image import script doesn't always work, but that may clear up)
so i asked jess an bobbert who are in my kitchen what this is all about and how it would be different from what we have now and they said alot of things that i understood not a word of so i vote yes, yes indeed ! we need whatever it is. for sure.
