We have a
goal - 5000 people use Thinkaboutyourlife.org by May 2011.
As of August, the website has been up for six months! So far we
have had over 1000 different users of the website from several
different countries. As a "maverick" website - meaning it isn't
sponsored - we are pleased with this progress. All of this activity
has been from word of mouth. Seventy-five percent of all users have
found us by directly putting in our web address - so thanks very
much for telling people about the website.
We will continue to add to the website and make changes to make
it better! This summer has been spent working to expand website and
share the thinkaboutyourlife.org with more people:
By the end of September the Journey with a Chronic Health
Condition section of the website will be launched. The September
blog will feature this section and the new tools we have added to
the website - the good support for my health tool and decision
making agreement tool.
Also, I realized we needed a "quick start guide" for the
website. We received feedback that folks just want to jump in and
get started using the site and needed instructions to do this. You
can watch two videos that show you how to use the various features
on the website here: getting started with thinkaboutyourlife.org and
using My Tools on
thinkaboutyourlife.org.
In addition, in the next year we will attend more conferences,
write a monthly newsletter, and add a survivorship plan that can be
downloaded from our site. Linda in Australia is doing some work to
help get the word out about the website down under!
Thanks for sharing the website with lots of people. Keep sending
feedback - amanda@thinkaboutyourlife.org.
If you would like any postcards to share please let me know!
