#31WBGB ~ Week 1 ~ Write and Elevator Pitch For Your Blog


I am joining Tonia's Roots! She asks:
"join me as I spend the next 31 weeks putting into practice tips and tricks from ProBlogger, Darren Rowse.
This program is based on Darren’s highly popular challenge “31 Days to Build a Better Blog,” which he has made available as an e-book.  31 days does not work for my schedule (especially in the summer), so I’m switching it to a weekly challenge."
Week one's topic and action item is to write an elevator pitch for your blog,a short introduction to your blog that can be expressed in the space of an elevator ride. 

My Elevator Pitch:

my Heritage Happens, a family history blog, is my little niche in the world where I can sort, learn, share, discuss, and analyze my family's legacy, putting two and two together so to speak. At times, I may share a bit of what "will become" my heritage, which in turn, leaves "purposeful" documentation for my ancestors. With more than ten years of personal genealogy under my belt, I use this blog as a tool to help keep me a bit more organized. I hope you find Heritage Happens a place where you may obtain an idea or two, learn a thing or two or perhaps just enjoy a post or two!
My Tag Line:


my Heritage Happens, a place where you may obtain an idea or two, learn a thing or two, or perhaps just enjoy a post or two!


This was tougher than I expected. Earlier in the week I had some ideas, and promptly forgot them as I got busier during the week. For now anyway, I will be happy with this!


Thanks for stopping by!


Wishing you success in all of your genealogical treasure hunts!

    Hi, You have expressed yourself and your thoughts very well!
    and.....if it was tougher than you expected...well, its more tougher for me...;) English is not my first language and it is not always easy to express themselves, even in their native language ...
    .....to choose from raspberry or chocolate cake, I think anyway that there will be chocolate ..:)
    Have a Nice Day!

    Hi Yvonne! I can just imagine how much tougher it would be for you with English not being your first language! I need to go see if you have posted yours yet! And, I do think you are right, there will always be chocolate!

Organizing ~ Cousins Found

Image
I finally took time yesterday to do something I have been wanting to do for awhile now. It has been several years since I started genealogy and blogging. Many cousins have been found. But, how many? Who? I have not kept any kind of system to log these cousin contacts. I was past due, do I even remember all of them? Well, that was the goal here. I started a spreadsheet of "Cousins Found." I titled columns with things like, phone number, address, email address, surname, how/where we made contact, and if I have met them. I am all about meeting my living cousins and their family members, it does my heart good, plus you never know how long they will be with us. Of course, they may also have information to help us in our genealogy research.   I started listing the cousins names I remembered making contact with, those were cousins I generally keep in contact with anyway, so that was easy. Then, sporadically, I would remember someone contacting me on one e-mail address w

#31 WBGB ~ Week 11 ~ Come Up with 10 Post Ideas

Image
I am following  Tonia's Roots  as she brings several GeneaBloggers through 31 weeks of working towards a better blog, prompts written by Darren Rowse.  Here is this weeks challenge adapted from Darren Rowse's daily challenges which Tonia is doing as weekly challenges: Ever run out of things to write about on your blog? If your answer is yes – you’re not alone. This weeks's task is to do an exercise that will identify a range of post ideas that you can use when stuck for an idea in future. The key with this process is not to put yourself under pressure to come up with completely new and out of the blue ideas for every post you write. Instead – this process taps into what you’ve recently written on your blog and helps you to identify ways to extend those ideas. Here’s the mind mapping method that I’ve used (note: I’ve talked about this previously so it could be familiar to some). 1. The Set Up Get a whiteboard, piece of paper, note book, tablet pc or someth

Sentimental Sunday ~ Western Union Telegram

Image
Do you remember telegrams? Western Union Telegrams were a bit before my time. I have scanned the few that were kept and received by my paternal family back in the day.  This telegram was sent to my grandmother from Obed Olson stating his brother Philip had passed away on Wednesday March 9, 1960. It also let the family know that the funeral services were to be on Saturday at 2:00pm at Coop Mortuary in Hibbing, Minnesota. The telegram was to be received by Friday (which would have been March 11) and the funeral with the funeral being the next day I highly doubt my grandparents made if from California to Minnesota for the funeral. Philip and Obed Olson were my first cousin once removed. Unfortunately, I never met either of them.
