The family photo collection that I've been working on for several years is now published, here on L2D2. You can get to it from the family photos link up on the very top menu. There are over 360 photos there, spanning over a century of our family history. The bulk of the photos are from the first half of the 1900s. They are mainly from Alice Aasen's and Hannah Dunning's collections.

You have found Libbi and David's place. This site is our home on the web now, replacing dleepow.us. We're still working on getting the place fleshed out more, and maybe migrating the old dleepow.us stuff into this format. You can still get to the nasty old static HTML pages with the dleepow.us link. This L2D2 site is all database-driven dynamic content, built with Drupal.

So, what's with L2D2? It's for our initials: LLDD. We figured it made a lot more sense than "dleepow", which gets only more obscure year by year. As the logo suggests, you can pronounce it L squared D squared if you like.

It is my hope that our extended family and friends will choose to create accounts here and use this site as a place to keep in touch, for planning and coordinating events, exchanging photos, and whatever else we come up with. Much of the content will only be accessable by logging in; this is not intended to be a very public site. By protecting the content from visibility to every bozo with a browser, it's my hope we'll feel relaxed and at home, and not have to worry about who might see what we share here. Security is a major priority with the technology I'm using, and I am confident that l2d2.net is pretty locked down. The old dleepow content is still wide open, though.

You can have your own blog here if you like. We now have discussion forums, photo galleries able to handle high resolution images, you can create polls for voting on things if you want, and whatever else we come up with.

So create your account and dive in!
