COMMENTARY

By Paul D. Peery, Editor

  1. DEVELOPING THIS COMMENTARY
    As you see below, this section now has a separate archive of what is written here. The archive list will appear at the bottom of each Commentary, carried forward to a new one.

    Construction is also being done here toward enabling me to improve the site. At this point, I am doing this by hand, not with an automatic software program of any kind. I may or may not be using the work that is being done here at this particular sub-page.

    I am also trying colors and backgrounds throughout the page toward bringing uniformity and identification to similar subject matter. The color selected for Commentary is to set it apart from the rest of the Web site.

Commentary Page Briefings

Introduction

  1. WELCOME TO COMMENTARY - NEW!
    "Commentary" is an editorial page that begins today. It will serve as a means for providing information to visitors to this site beyond the content of the overall purpose of the site. Here is where considerations and plans for ongoing development can be shared with the interested reader.

    There is a need for providing information from selective sources, including e-mail messages, for others to see online. The process of handling this information may change, but the idea is germane to the usefulness of this site. I am exploring tools that can be used for enhancing communications.

    Changes to improve the information flow on this Web page are an ongoing consideration. I find that constant improvements and added data-flow are essential for making a site viable, to maintain its overall value. Like any media tool, there must be useful content and action to maintain interest and an audience.

    The work done here is the result of a long-time interest in Peery Family history. It is a hobby for me that at times has become an obsession, which needs to be toned down. While I may follow the path of adding bunches of data at a time, the reader eventually sees there is something worthwhile here for him/her to return time and again to find it.

    This page began in February 1996, now nearing 20 months on the Net. I like how it has developed, and intend to keep moving toward improvements. My enthusiasm for maintaining it has not been lost over the months. A revamping of priorities, however, places it higher on my list of interests so that it can receive the attention it deserves. I also have added Pentium and Windows 95 technology that will permit me to revamp the site over time.

    The "Peery Family History Home Page" has been found by many persons, who have chosen to request membership in Peery Cousins Online. Growth in membership has resulted from the presence of this Web page. This growth, however, has required an inordinate amount of time. For that reason, there is a need to make changes, which are being implemented, brick-by-brick.

    Thanks to all those who have written to let me know how this site has been useful to them. Suggestions for improving the site will be considered.
