Everything You Never Wanted to Know about the Nuts and Bolts of Genealogy Blogging

Everything You Never Wanted to Know about the Nuts and Bolts of Genealogy Blogging

presented by Bill Lindsey, Heritage Seekers

Bill’s presentation will focus on the nuts and bolts of genealogical blogging, with a hands-on approach that walks participants through a number of genealogical blogs and talks about the pros and cons of different approaches to genealogical blogging. Some questions it will consider: How to choose a platform for a genealogical blog? How to go about maintaining a blog? How to use the different tools at different platforms? What focus to choose (i.e., on a particular surname, on a group of families, on a region, on DNA and its use in genealogy: the possibilities are pretty endless)?
