In the last year, I have taken historical articles I might have once contributed to a GenWeb site and began posting them in one of three blogs. I am using this tool largely because I have much more control over this--I can post when I want and change or delete when I want. I try to post to each of these at least once a month. None of these are genealogy blogs and right now, I don't have any plans for any of that kind. For anybody with an interest in publishing that you might not be able to afford to put in print--blogger represents a great way to engage in what I call ad hoc publishing. It's big limitation is that articles are organized solely by the date of filing and that can't be changed. I hope that will change somebody because these are essential bare-bones Web sites, which is all most of us need There are three: Jefferson County. These are features that I write based on my own research. These are simply things I find interesting. Some are about important events or people in Jefferson County and Madison history. Some, like the one I just posted called "A Band of Gypsies" are things that piqued my interest. I started this because I have a lot of information in the History of Jefferson County I am writing that doesn't really fit in the book and won't otherwise find a home. http://jeffersoncountyindiana.blogspot.com/ First Hand. These are (as nearly as possible) accounts from people about history in Jefferson County who experienced what they wrote about fairly soon after visiting the area or soon after the event they wrote about. For example, a recent post is the the report of Col. Sam Sering who commanded the Jefferson County. (The URL is firsthandmadison because firsthand.blogspot.com was taken. http://firsthandmadison.blogspot.com/ Switzerland County. Those combines narratives that I write with First Hand info. I simply don't have the time to write separate original works and maintain a first hand site for Switzerland County, but have enough to post on a fairly regular basis. http://switzerlandcounty.blogspot.com/ Bob
