On July 14, 2011 there was a front page article called "Genealogy Meets the Blogsphere" on Mormon Times in the Deseret News. One interesting point: GeneaBloggers.com has a listing of 2,000 genealogy and family history blogs. It's quite mind boggling. It seems the internet is exploding with tutorials, networking, and sharing of information regarding new trends and resources connected to the world of family history.
The article points out places where one can watch videos on how to make a genealogy blog. Even though I have been quite remiss in making frequent postings, I am so glad I met the challenge issued last year in Web 2.0, 23 things.....embracing lifelong learning in the family history field.
It was fun for me to realize I was actually pro-active about something that was becoming a trend.
There is so much more to do than I can ever get done, but I want to post more frequently....even if it is just for myself. Also I am trying to be selective in how I spend my time with Fam. Hist. I have to keep up to date to be able to teach the Family History class in Sunday School, am trying to organize materials I already have in my possession, and want to pinpoint some incidents and qualities of grandparents and great grandparents and get them recorded in one source.
Kirk and I are speaking on the 24th in church: Remembering our Heritage and Honoring our Heritage.
Loving and appreciating our ancestors more each day. The spirit of Elijah has definitely settled upon me.

I should have commented on this early...crazy life... I think it is a blessing that you get to teach the family history class. How neat to work with others and help them discover their families. I hope that you do keep posting. I enjoy you sharing my history with me.
