A special shout out to Jasia over at Creative Gene who today is celebrating the 3rd birthday of the Carnival of Genealogy!
If you aren’t familiar with COG (as it is commonly called), realize that for many of us, it was our the first blog carnival we ever participated in once our genealogy blogs were established. I know for me, personally, I had concerns over whether I was “doing it right” when I submitted by post, worried over whether my topic fit in or if even people would come and read my post.
Jasia has been the consummate hostess with COG and she has welcomed me and every participant with open arms and encouragement. And I also want to give props to my genea home girl footnoteMaven who has designed most of the groovy posters for each COG edition!
Take a look at the very first post about COG at Creative Gene on June 4, 2006 – you’ll see that the first topic was, of course, technology. Stop by and wish Jasia and COG well and here’s to many more editions of the mother of all genealogy blog carnivals!
