Tomorrow I will be teaching a beginner's genealogy blogging course at a local family history conference. I certainly don't feel like an expert, but I do love genealogy blogs and the wonderful way they can connect family members together!
My focus will be on making sure each newbie blogger knows how to label their posts, how to set up their sidebar gadgets to help readers find family research information quickly, and how to make sure they have maximum SEO (search engine optimization) to help google and other browsers find their blog articles quickly.
Wish me luck! I always learn more than I teach when I do a class of this kind. Hopefully I can bring some of that new knowledge to my blog next week.

Welcome To My Genealogy Blog
A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me to teach a class on genealogy blogging. The only problem? I haven't done any genealogy blogging! Now I've blogged plenty for my business, but genealogy - nope. So began some internet research time on what kind of blogs are out there, and just how people are using them to share their genealogy with other researchers.
I found a myriad of blogs to choose from - some big, some small, some started and forgotten. Some that have photos and document images, some that contain travel logs of genealogy trips, some that just contain the ramblings of excited genealogy addicts that want a place to share their latest find.
It got ME excited too, and I realized I had been missing out on a great way to share my own research and to keep myself motivated to work harder on genealogy.
Now that you're here, what can you expect to find in my blog?
So hang on to your hats and stay with me! I promise you'll find out all kinds of great stuff about Nina's genealogy as I blog away and share my years of research with you.
