Sunday was a productive day given I didn't get out of bed until 10:30 am. But it was a sunny day which was nice after a week of doom, gloom, rain and highs of 45F!
- First thing before I even went to Google Reader was to get the Black Sheep Sunday post up on GeneaBloggers. I usually schedule all the Daily Blogging Theme posts (Black Sheep Sunday, Madness Monday, Tombstone Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday and Treasure Chest Thursday) on Saturday for the following week but I had forgotten to do so. It also takes a clear mind since you have to make sure you don't actually post "live" but schedule them. I also used su.pr to schedule my Twitter and Facebook status postings for the same posts.
- Did a quick check on the SNGF - A Family's Increase postings and made sure the new ones which came in overnight were tagged so they would show up in the Google Reader widget.
- Read some amazing blog posts with my morning coffee - some great writing and great genealogy info out there!
- Worked on my editorial calendar for both GeneaBloggers and DAF. I am using Evernote and basically created a Microsoft Word calendar based on a table, pasted it into a new notebook, and then list the title/topic of each post I want to put up. When I do post, I highlight the text in green. If I don't post something as scheduled, I carry it over to the next day.
- Posted about "burning a feed" - what it is and why it is important for bloggers - at GeneaBloggers. This too was in response to an email by a CGSL member. While the original question was how to get family members to sign up for email alerts when new blog posts are available, I realized I needed to backtrack and post a series on feed burners before I could post the email alerts posts. I hope to have that one posted by Tuesday, October 20, 2009.
- Worked on an issue for my cousin Wendy in Long Island related to missing headstones at a cemetery in Queens, New York. Made some contacts about the concept of "perpetual care" and will see what the genealogy blogosphere can find on this interesting topic.
- Rest of the night was spent watching some television and making an Italian sausage pasta sauce and shells for dinner.
- Wow - got to bed at 10:30 pm - amazing!
