Okay...so my grandma is turning 85, and my folks are putting together a small party. She doesn't want anything, really, but she loves getting cards. So my folks have made it a 'card shower' party.

My g'ma has lots of family out-of-state that can't make it in. My mom (who really knows VERY little about computers) wants to go to a build-it-yourself type of website & create a web page so that family members can go to it, & post their birthday wishes, whatever for my grandma. She's not looking for it to be a permanent thing; just a site that people can go to for a pre-determined amount of time. (Almost like the guestbooks you can sign for online obits...only for a living person. God that sounds awful, but it's the best I can come up with to compare).

Anyway, anyone know of anything like this out there?

This would probably work for her--maybe. Just not sure how people could post their comments to it--but maybe the blog part would be sufficient. I'll poke around some more with it tonight. Thank you, DCR!

Any other suggestions still welcome!

If she has a mac, iweb would be PERFECT for her. it's a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get), but doubt that's what she has to work with. You could literally have something done in 10 minutes though.

She could do a myspace, that would be pretty easy IMO.

Thanks...the party was on Sunday, and I guess my mom decided against doing anything on the web. I appreciate the suggestions, though!
