Cyndi Howells of Cyndi's List wrote, Planting Your Family Tree Online (How to Create Your Own Family History Web Site, pub. in October 2003 and I have referred to it a lot lately. I remember ordering it even before it was available to the public, and had to wait a few weeks before it was actually shipped. My great intentions to have a Web Site were forming in my mind, and I thought the book would solve all my unknowns of how to do it. Unfortunately, It was right about that time that I was going full steam ahead with discoveries found through Google, so soon, any Web Site of mine would have to wait. I wanted my research to be absolutely completed and perfect before I posted anything for the world. Well we all know, that never happens. Time marched on, and now we are in the world of Blogs. Hum, the nice little unopened book remained in my bookcase until a week ago. And it has been so useful the past several weeks.Even though her index doesn't list the word blog, she does cover topics that have helped me.
Example Chapters:
