When we launch our site redesign a few weeks ago, one of the new features that we added was the Family Memories Website (see example). Besides helping you discover new family memories, we also want to help you share those newfound memories.

So how does the Family Memories Website work? Easy, you don’t have to do anything extra. Tpstry takes all your answered questions and uploaded images and automatically creates a website for you.  To view your website, log in to Tpstry and click the “View Website” button at the top left of the webpage. Currently, all Family Memories Websites are private and can only be viewed by users who have access to that Tpstry family. We have plans for the future to open this open and let you securely share your website with non-Tpstry users.  So stay tuned.

The Family Memories Website uses the images you have uploaded to create a visually appealing homepage for your site. Don’t worry if you haven’t uploaded any images, we have a collection of nice general photographs to use as placeholders.

The Family Memories Website organizes content into People, Places, Events and Images just like on the main Tpstry site. We also moved the Timeline page from the main Tpstry page into the Family Memories Website. Plus, we made the timeline even better!

As you answer more questions, your Family Memories Website will begin to look even better. Since many people are just getting started answering questions on Tpstry, we’ve created an Example Family Memories Website that you can view to get a feel of what your site will look like.
