Nice easy to use site.

What a fun concept! I love the “stationary” when I made a milestone. My only problem was that when I 1st tried to “post a milestone” I just got a blank screen and had to start all over.

I love the idea of a website for milestones in life. It is direct and you can post past ones that defined your life now and look forward to reading future ones of friends and family.

I visited the xtra xtra site and really liked how the newspaper adds opened when I clicked on the links in the announcements. However, I don’t think that the site is something I would use on a regular basis. Maybe if I could have it downloaded into a feed reader it would be more useful to me. I doubt I would visit the site too often without the reminder of a reader.

Just figured out how to add it to my reader. NOW I will use it.

I visited the xtraxtra site. This may sound weird, but I like the obituary section. It looks very user-friendly where one can send one’s condolences and/or send flowers. I thought that was pretty neat.
I did not like that I could not select a category and see all the entries for just that category. I could only sort by most recent and oldest dates. It is also pretty new (oldest entry for my area was April 2, 2009), so there was not much information available.
