Fearless Females – Prompts for Women’s History Month

I want to point out a series of daily blogging prompts entitled Fearless Females created by Lisa Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist blog in honor of Women’s History Month which starts today, 1 March 2010.
Here are the prompts – consider honoring your female ancestors by posting at your genealogy or family history blog!

Blogging As Conversation

Recently someone asked me, “What keeps you blogging? Especially after the initial novelty of setting up a blog has worn off?” and I was able to respond with one word: conversation.
Speak Of Me? Or Speak Of Thee?
What do I mean by that?  For me, and I think this applies to most genealogy bloggers, blogging is [...]

Remembering Dr. King

Today, Monday 18 January 2010, is the day we set aside as a nation to remember the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (his actual birthday was on 15 January).
Many genealogy bloggers are taking time to post at their own blogs as to the impact that the Civil Rights Movement had upon them [...]

A Heartfelt Thanksgiving

As many genealogy bloggers are either traveling over the river and through the woods, or getting ready to host family, most of us will take some time and say thanks – either through a blog post, in a prayer, or perhaps aloud to our family and friends.
I would like to thank all the readers of [...]

Preview – Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories

Way back in late 2007, several genealogy bloggers had an idea: why not create an Advent calendar using different Christmas and holiday-related topics for each day?  Why not prompt other genealogy bloggers to write about family traditions and how they or their ancestors celebrated Christmas? Thus was born the first Advent Calendar of Christmas memories.

A Day To Remember Veterans

Today, November 11th, is when many pause to remember the service that men and women in the armed forces have provided in the service of their country.  Here in the United States the day is marked as Veterans Day and serves to thank those who served.  In other countries such as Canada, the UK, and [...]

Resources For Free Icons For Your Blog Or Website

Icons can really make a difference in terms of “tricking out” your genealogy blog or website.  The main problem is how to find icons that truly are free and don’t require purchase, royalties or attribution.
Below is GeneaBloggers‘ updated list of free icon resources.  Please read the information at each site carefully – for some, icons [...]

Common Sense Image Use

[Editor's note: I'm delighted that Maureen Taylor of the Photo Detective blog has agreed to provide this guest post for GeneaBloggers readers.]
Images and blogs are a natural partnership. A picture illustrates a point or becomes the focal piece of a column. It advertises who you are. No doubt about it, images enhance the ability of [...]

The Importance of Daily Blogging Themes

Daily Blogging Themes are a series of “prompts” which bring the community of genealogy bloggers together.  Basically a theme is set – such as Tombstone Tuesday, one of the most popular – and bloggers who want to participate can do so by posting about the subject at their own blogs.
By way of history, when GeneaBloggers started [...]
