This blog consists of two types of content:
Pages: There is a page for each family, plus this Blog Guide page. You can link to individual pages like this: Landis Family page. There is a navigation bar with the page titles across the top of the blog.
Posts: There are posts with labels; labels are by family (family last name) and/or by individual names (first last). You can link to an individual post like this: Introduction post. Or you can link to a label which will show all the posts with that label (newest first): John Kerr label. In the sidebar of the blog, you will see two different navigation boxes: Family labels and Individual labels.
You can include text, links, and photos in the pages and posts; you can also embed videos and slideshows from other web services (Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
Label limit: There is a limit of 200 characters for the labels on a post, so if you have a post with many individual names, you might need to limit the number of labels or divide your post up into multiple parts.
This blog was started by Joshua Landis in 2015 to commemorate the American community in Lebanon and particularly of Ainab. He grew up in this hilltop community that was started in 1932-33 by five American University of Beirut families: the Dodd, Close, Leavitt, Kerr, and Crawford families. Later families included: Landis, Crow, Dodge, Eddy, Scott, Gordon and Kennedy. Other families who summered in Shemlan, just below Ainab, include: Dorman, Stoltzfus, Smith, Van Dyck.
