History of My Blogging Adventure
I started the blogs that you can visit today in April and June of 2006. I am happy to say that they are still going strong. I had a blog before these blogs but it was created for an assignment while I was in graduate school. It was such a mess with experimenting with the interface, so I erased it. It was quite a learning experience for me.
At that time, I was planning to stay in the field of education but that soon changed, as you know. I used to host a Web site for teachers that was very popular and it was great for my teaching workshops and to sell the books I have authored or coauthored. It was a lot of work and upkeep.
Don't bother to look for it. I took all of it down in 2012. It was started in 1996. (Do I look young?)

Beyond the Horizon is my blog that is now mostly about technology. There is some family history in it because I really felt that my next blog should contain only information about gravestones and cemeteries, I put some information about my ancestors and their photographs.

My most popular blog is Granite in MY Blood, and it was started so I could showcase my gravestone photography for my professional genealogist portfolio. Much to my amazement, I began to get awards for my blogging. It is still my favorite genealogy thing to do.

Granite in my Blood: Wedding Banns (938) and Headstone & Footstone (768)
Beyond the Horizon: Using the Ancestry app (2603) and Cell phone Gallery (2141)
I find it amazing what people are interested in for both my blogs. Note that these highest numbers are not really all that serious research topics.
Hi Midge, I was reading your pal Kathy's web pages when I was in grad school in 2005-2006! Little did I know back then... I love all of your blogs and read them with anticipation. You do a fine job. So glad you still have fun with it!
