During the last few weeks, I have been working on my presentation on blogging for genealogists. Thanks to the assistance of fellow genea-bloggers who gave permission to use screenshots from their blogs, the presentation is coming together very well. It will be a colourful presentation.
I wish I could highlight all the genea-blogs out there, but I can't; but I will point to places where the audience can find them.
The talk will be divided into two sections: reading blogs and writing your own blog. Not everyone will want to have a blog of their own but genealogists benefit from reading the work of others.
Some of the points I will cover
What is a blog and how does it differ from a web site?
Different parts of the blog.
Reading
How to find blogs
How to keep updated on postings - RSS feeds and readers
Different types of blogs with examples
Writing
Getting Ready to blog - Who, When, Where, Why and How
Setting up a blog
Tips concerning layout and writing

ReplyDeleteIs the presentation in PowerPoint? When you are done presenting, would you consider making it available on SlideShare for others to see?
Sounds interesting, Janet. Wish I could attend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a presentation. Hope all goes well!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Thomas. Can you make it available to those of us who aren't in Canada? It sounds wonderful. Sure wish I cold hear it. Sounds like you're doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteI will certainly look at posting it on slideshare. I may have to add some labels to it as the majority of the presentation using PowerPoint is visual - very few words.
