Website creation service Sampa is getting more vertical. A few new options have been added to the service for creating themed websites for users to set up blogs to be shared privately with friends and family. This appears to be somewhat of an extension from the family tree-building tool that Sampa released last year, especially given the interactive functions that Sampa did include previously.
In fact, the family tree capabilities are integrated into this new feature that Sampa is releasing. The premise is to offer an interactive and easily communicated way in which a user can share blog entries (stories) and photo albums with the people to which they're the closest.

Most of Sampa's specialty features are included in the new service, including the baby countdown timer, Flickr and YouTube imports, and more. The biggest factor that makes this different from Sampa's overall service is the ability to keep it private from the rest of the world. Liken it to a private scrapbook that you can share with the kids, and the grandparents.
