First Post

As a group, we have debated over what our group name would be. Since our project was to help teen moms by making key chains, hanging door plaques, and charms, we decided on the name "Links of Love". Unfortunately, further research showed us that the name was already taken by a breast cancer awareness group. We had to think of a new name or risk copyright infringement. After further discussion, we decided on "Links of Life", since the children of these teen moms are our greatest concern. We are hoping to help improve the lives of these children by giving the teens moms some useful craft skills to help them earn some extra income.

The next step for us was to create a blog. Monica and I decided to create one here at Blogger (previously known as Blogspot), and to do that we had to create a gmail account first. Monica ran into some complications while trying to create one when she thought putting the date we started this project as the account birthday. She ended up getting an error message that wouldn't let her continue due to the Child Safety Act. Eventually, we were able to get linksoflife2010@gmail.com to work. When we got to www.blogger.com, we saw that an account with the name linksoflife was already created by a guy in 2004, so we added 2010 to the name and now we have established our official blog!

We're still working on a logo and a official product line, so we will update soon about that next time!
