http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/ en doug@mi-connection.com Copyright 2008 2008-10-31T14:30:37-05:00 http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/the_forums_are_open/ http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/the_forums_are_open/#When:15:30:37Z I have added forums to the site and the forums are officially open. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: If you registered at this site BEFORE October 29th, you need to go to your “control panel” (look at the bottom right of each page), click on “username and password” on the left under PERSONAL SETTINGS and change your screen name. For everyone who registered before the 29th, your screen name was automatically set to include your last name. If that doesn’t bother you then you don’t have to do anything. 2008-10-31T15:30:37-05:00 http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/statistics_pages/ http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/statistics_pages/#When:03:30:58Z I’ve added statistics pages to the site. I love statistics so you can now sort through all the children and see at a glance: # of children adopted by month # of children adopted by year # of special needs children vs referrals # of children by gender # of children by province # of children by swi (still working on this one) # of children by agency # of children from each state/province/country 2008-10-31T03:30:58-05:00 http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/new_feature_upload_a_childs_photo/ http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/new_feature_upload_a_childs_photo/#When:04:30:51Z Now you can upload a photo of your child(ren) which will display in search results. The photo can be no larger than 100 x 100 pixels. Pick a child from the drop-down list and click on the blue ‘edit a child’ button. At the bottom of the form, click on the ‘browse’ button and find the file you wish to upload. Click on the ‘submit’ button and your photo will display. Repeat the process for each child. To see an example, pick ‘Baoding’ from the swi drop-down list. Click on the green ‘swi’ button and you’ll see a listing for our youngest daughter, Karys, with a current photo attached to the listing. 2008-10-23T04:30:51-05:00 http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/new_feature_edit_submitted_info/ http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/new_feature_edit_submitted_info/#When:21:00:36Z Users now can edit any information about their child(ren) that has been submitted. If you have registered at least one child, you’ll see a blue ‘edit a child’ button and a drop-down list to the right. Pick your child’s name from the drop-down list and click on the blue button. You’ll be taken to an edit form that will let you change any information previously submitted. 2008-10-22T21:00:36-05:00 http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/search_results/ http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/search_results/#When:20:30:48Z After a few families have shared their discomfort with some of the information displayed in search results, I have decided to do away with the family’s last name and the child’s birth date. Hopefully this will make it a little more comfortable for everyone. 2008-10-18T20:30:48-05:00 http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/edit_submitted_info/ http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/edit_submitted_info/#When:15:29:59Z Someone asked if it is possible to edit a child’s information after the information is submitted. The answer is - not right now but I’m definitely working on making that possible. In the meantime, email me any changes and I’ll take care of it right away. 2008-10-16T15:29:59-05:00 http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/welcome/ http://www.ourchinesechildren.com/site/comments/welcome/#When:12:00:07Z Let me welcome you to the launch of Our Chinese Children. I believe OCC can serve as a great resource for families who have adopted from China and I’m excited to be able to offer it to you. But again, this site will only be helpful if we spread the word and encourage our friends and acquaintances who have adopted from China to sign up. I am certainly open to suggestions so please let me know if you have an idea for improving the site. 2008-10-15T12:00:07-05:00
