Writers Needed for Blog--a New "Career"?

The Cape Cod Genealogical Society’s Blog site is now up and fully operational (as you already know if you are reading this message); the Blog will continue to serve as a quick and appropriate communication vehicle for events and timely reports. But a Blog is only as good as the level of participation within any organization.

Volunteers are now needed for preparing brief stories or announcements on a somewhat regular basis. Some examples of perhaps monthly or occasional news items which could be sent to the Committee for posting would be:

• Special announcements about genealogy publications
• Book Reviews
• Cape Cod Families
• Anecdotes about Genealogical Breakthroughs
• Relating Genealogy to Local History
• Family History Humor
• Updates on developments on Ancestry.com
• Updates on developments on Familysearch.org
• Announcements of genealogy workshops in our region
• And more—your choice.

Creating content for a Blog is about as easy as using a word processor, and no technical skills are required. And, a bonus for anyone who becomes a Blog contributor -- Chris Geanacopoulos, our electronic “guru”, has offered to help train anyone in Blog methodology so that they will feel comfortable in the role; you won’t want to miss this chance.

Questions and ideas are welcome—contact the Publications Committee through either David Martin (davidchina_2000@yahoo.com) or Carolyn Weiss (carlysue01@comcast.net); your participation is needed now!
