While exploring the features of google sites I found that there was a news posting feature. So.. I junked the idea of using a blog feed to create site news, although being able to e-mail updates would be interesting, and instead used the site news widget for this, unfortunately it means my first post is now dated wrong, but that's not a big deal.

I've also been playing with getting our pictures uploaded to picasa and linking the albums on this sites picture page. That way its easier to show our photographs to friends and family.
