Post The Love Theme of the Week...FAMILY

Hey, Post The Lovers!!!! Q here again. In my first blog post, I mentioned that we were going to start having themes here on PTL, and I'm happy to say that today is the day!

Every time I log on to this site, I can't help but notice how often you guys use the word FAMILY. Whether you're talking about your blood relatives OR the best friend you've had since the beginning of time OR the friends you've met here on PTL, it's clear that FAMILY is a topic near and dear to your hearts.

If you know me for longer than 2 seconds, then you know that I'm extremely proud of my own little FAMILY. You can check them out in a cute new video I made recently. It features my sons' favorite song (aka "Fireflies" by Owl City)...

For our first theme, I want you guys to post your love about your FAMILY...however you define it and whoever they may be.

Even though we have a theme for the week, feel free to continue to post anything you want here on PTL. The only difference is that I'll spotlight some of my favorite themed posts here on the blog.

If you guys find posts you really like, feel free to leave a comment here and let me know about the. Also, if you have ideas for future themes, make sure you post that in the comments too.

That's all I've got for now, so get to posting!!!

HUGS,
Q

Check Out PTL's New Meebo Bar

PTL'er Ivy posted some love for the new Meebo Toolbar at the bottom of the site, so I thought I would quickly explain how you guys can get to know one of the many new features I talked about in a recent PTL blog post.

The "Share Page" button on the far left side of the bar lets you easily share the entire site or a single post on Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, Yahoo, and Email. You can also quickly and easily...

• Subscribe to PTL's RSS Feed
• View PTL's Official Facebook and Twitter Streams
• "Like" the site or a single post on Facebook
• Chat with Friends on Social Networking Sites

In Ivy's post, she mentioned that she really liked the new features on the site, and I hope you all like them too!

Site Issues on PTL...FIXED!!!

Some of the site changes last night may have caused a few site issues.  We are currently working on PTL's Photo and Audio upload issue and an issue where your favorite is recorded, but the star does not stay yellow.

If you see any other issues, please leave a comment on this post, and I will let you know when the problems have been fixed. - Thanks, Q

UPDATE (7/18/2010): I'm happy to say that, you guys can now upload photos and audio and favorites should be displaying properly again! Thanks for everyone's patience! - Thanks, Q

Welcome to the New Post The Love Blog!!!

Hey, Post The Love Family!!!! This is Q (aka the webmistress from Channing Tatum Unwrapped) doing a little double-duty as your new webmistress here at PTL!

You all have been doing such an incredible job of keeping this community going.  From posting great images, videos, and more everyday to the awesome Post Card Project you guys started... we've been extremely impressed with everything you're doing on and off the site.

As Chan has mentioned in a previous PTL post, he has a lot of ideas about how he wants to make this community even better. His schedule is so crazy right now that he asked me to help with the site, and I jumped at the opportunity!

I loved the video intros you guys posted on PTL a few weeks back, so I thought I would follow suit with my own vlog (aka video blog) to let you all know about some new features we've added to PTL and a whole bunch more that are currently in the works.

Let me apologize now for the darkness of the video and the fact that I say ummm more times than I can count...two problems I've ironically never had when writing over 1600 articles on CTU. I promise I'll get better at this video thing...
