Tonia over at Tonia’s Roots post a series last year of 31 weeks to a Better Genealogy Blog, I wanted to join in last year but work was crazy and time didn’t permit. Things have settled down and so I am giving it a go now. Here is my second week’s entry. This week’s challenge was to write a List Post, she explains the purpose of that here.http://www.toniasroots.net/2011/07/10/31wbgb-make-list-posts-work-for-your-genealogy-blog/
I actually did a list post yesterday, when I listed the things I learned during my public library trip. Of course I had been thinking about the topic during the week and it just seemed like a logical place to try it out. The topic I have plan for my official activity is to preview some of the post I have planned on my Editorial Calendar for January.
I am still working on last years series of 52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History, I have a total of 9 more post I want to do from that series, I have 5 more planed for January.
- Books
My Wedding save for March for my 20th Anniversary- Secrets
- Dad in the Newspaper
- Punishments
- Childhood smells
Other topics include:
- Aunt Em's Birthday
- Wordless Wednesday
- Blogiversary
- Arizona Family History Expo
- Week 3 of 31 Weeks to a Better Genealogy Blog
- Week 3 of 52 Weeks to a Better Genealogy
Well it looks like I have a busy month of writing. I just recently started using an Editorial Calendar thanks to a post I read on Michelle's Blog The Turn of Generations.
It has really helped me stay focus on writing instead of having a vague idea in the back of my brain. It does allow for changing the schedule as you see from my list above.

This is
my pitch & tag line. I also added my tag line to my email signature and
made a new business card just in time to hand out at the Family History Expo in
least then two weeks.
Elevator Pitch:
I am
learning about Genealogy and one of the tools I am using is my blog, Me and My
Ancestors. I write about my experiences
doing research as well as the family stories I know of my ancestors. This way the stories are save and the people
not forgotten. Just for giggles I throw
in a few of my own life stories. I originally
started my blog so my children would have a place to fine the family stories
but it has turned into something bigger.
I have shared things I have learned, made new friends and learned from
others.
Tag Line:
It
started as a place to share family stories but it has turned into something bigger.
I have been thinking about this all week and couldn't find the right words this morning the words just flowed. I like it!
