Create A Site
Never miss a beat.
The What's Happening module on your homepage ensures you'll catch every comment made, every upload, every photo story created and every discussion started.
Not able to check in to your site every day? We've got you covered. Since we archive all that activity on your site, you can simply page through your What's Happening history. You and your members won't miss a thing. Or if you prefer, you can have your site send activity emails.
Create an entire family photo collection.
Pull those long lost photos out of their shoeboxes and memory cards and upload them into a common, safe location. Arrange them into online albums to keep them organized and easy to find. You can also share with friends via email, even if they aren’t a member of your site.
Unlimited StorageWith a free Basic site each member can upload up to 100MB per month. Essentials site members get 1GB per month each.
Better than email.Better than a blog.
If you want to share news or start a conversation with all of your family members, rather than blasting out an email, simply post a Discussion on your site where everyone can reply to one another. With threaded comments and voice comments, it's the perfect forum for group conversations. The same is true of blogs. Blogs are great for personal journaling. But they lack the features necessary for a family group to hold a discussion
Comment on anything.
While it's important to add content to your site, what really connects your family and brings them closer is commenting on what others have added.
You can comment on pretty much everything on your site, including photos, albums, videos, Discussions, Photo Stories and files.
Get vocal.
Want your Discussions and comments to be even more personalized? Put the keyboard away and pick up the telephone, call our toll-free number. Instead of reading what you have to say, your family can now hear what you have to say, and in your own voice.
Forget about forgetting.
Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, vacations and more! Your myfamily.com site puts them all in one place for the whole family to see, and the Events list on your site’s homepage makes sure no one misses that next big celebration. You can even schedule an automatic email reminder to be sent to everyone before each event.
Grab the popcorn and pull up a chair.
Upload the ol' home movies, or break out your video camera to catch that next great moment, then upload and laugh (watch the movie). You can also share videos on your site with non-members via email or a link.
Storytelling made easy.
Share the stories behind your photos by using your own voice to create narrated slideshows called 'Photo Stories'. It's as simple as uploading photos to your site, using your telephone to call our toll-free number and telling the story in your own words.
Unparalleled family history research.
Build a comprehensive and robust family tree that will keep your family connected across generations. Powered by our sister company Ancestry.com, your family tree enables you and your site members to go far beyond names and dates by adding photographs and historical documents to people records in your tree.
Emailing files = bad.
Every myfamily.com site includes an online file cabinet where you and your members can easily upload, store and share files from your computers. With the security of a myfamily.com site, you know your important documents will be safe and only members of your site will be able to see and download them. No more emailing files.
Where did I put her address again?
Even though myfamily.com is a great way to keep your family connected, there's no substitute for a call or a handwritten letter. And a family website is a perfect place to store phone numbers, mailing addresses, email addresses, etc. And since each member adds and edits her own information, it's like a self-updating online address book.
Express yourself.
Personalized gifts are always a hit with family members. Use photos on your site to make prints and photo books or create personalized gifts such as calendars, greeting cards, mugs, keychains, mousepads and more.
Site Administrators have exclusive access to the Site Settings section, which allows them to edit the site's Welcome Message, create a Custom Site URL, set up a Public Page and control user permissions.
Make it your own.
You can customize the look and feel of your myfamily.com site, including the backgrounds, colors, fonts and font sizes. Choose from one of many professionally designed themes, or use the Custom Theme Builder to create your own one-of-a-kind theme that is as unique you and your family.
Basic sites include a few themes. Administrators of Essential sites have access to the entire theme library and Custom Theme builder.
Don't forget your other families.
Although your myfamily.com site is private, and only the people you invite can view it, you can use the ‘Share’ and 'Embed' features to share photos, albums, videos and Photo Stories via email with people not on your site.
