Writing the Donor Family...

Today we received a packet from UNMC that will allow us to write to our donor family if we choose to. Craig and I both want to write to the donor family but we are encouraged to wait till after the holidays our of respect for the donors family. I think we will put the packet up for now and wait till after the new year to write our letters. We would never want to make it harder on the family, especially during the holidays.

Reason For It All...

It is very important that through your progress after getting a transplant, that you remember your reasons for wanting the transplant. For our family we wanted the transplant to save my husbands life so he could enjoy being a father. Our son Elijah was our inspiration for everything!

Choosing Your Blog's Colors

Choosing colors for your blog can be an important make it or break it step. You want to make sure the colors are something that can be associated with your topic. My blog is on organ donation, so I chose to use blue, which is one of the main colors when dealing with Donate Life an organization here in Nebraska that helps to promote organ donation. Picking colors that are associated with your topic will help your reader to relate while not getting in their face and making them uncomfortable.

Tips for Designing a Blog

When it comes to designing a blog the key is to keep it simple. Making sure the blog catches the reader’s eye without making them uncomfortable while reading it. You want to make sure the font, colors, and size are all appropriate for the audience you will be attracting. You also want to make sure that the design of your blog either ties in with your topic or is neutral. You don’t want to pick something that is completely different than the topic of the blog. Overall the best advice is to keep it simple.
