My genealogy blog's one year anniversary
A year ago today, I posted my first post on Organize Your Family History. I’d purchased the domain some years before and finally figured what to do with it.
This was a DIY Wordpress blog, which turned out to be a little more challenging than I’d anticipated. But I was smart: I purchased the Site Setup Kit from Wendy Cholbi and Pamela Wilson and it stepped me through the process, gave guidance on issues like colors and fonts, and provided me with a choice of ten different pre-designed styles, one of which I adapted for Organize Your Family History. It also provides an online forum that I still have access to. For me, it was a great investment for under $300. (And right now, through June 19, they’re offering a $49 discount with the coupon code 49OFF.)
Anyway, the blog has been a really nice way for me to help give my genealogy research a higher priority. Today’s post, Happy Blogiversary to Me!, talks about a huge side benefit I’ve received from the blog: connection with cousins I’d never met.
