Stand Up and Be Counted!

Census night. Stand up and be counted. Technology certainly is wonderful. Gone is the perplexing old fashioned, paper, Census, booklet. Wonder how Joseph and Mary would have appreciated the technological era? No donkey, no inn, no star, no camels or Wise Men. Error 900 and then error 550. First error code was explained and simple to resolve. However, the second, code, 550, did not appear in any of the lists of errors. A rapid response email message to Census, online help. No yet answered but as that issue has now too been solved, no problem. Questions, check boxes. Who needs to know all this? Beware, if you insist that your family develop some sense of understanding of the system then I suggest, with the benefit of hindsight, that children should log on only after parents have completed their personal details. Why? Good question. Daughter was most eager to enter and upload her details after me and she now has made it almost impossible for other members of the family to show their familial relationship. Simply stated, husband is now trying to respond and upload his personal details to discover that 'it', being the computer, wanted him to explain his relationship to Person 1 and Person 2; his own daughter and wife. Check boxes had not considered that people may log on outside of family age order. Were there pop ups that should have been read? Were there embedded links that were missed? Look forward to the next Census and of course I don't mind if my information is archived for 99 years. Hyperlinks here I come!
