The games and the group organization which you and the other administrators have put together indicates to this "die-hard" HOGS BLOGGER that, indeed, we do need a formal society/association of the genea-blogging community.

Your efforts do not go unnoticed. You have been instrumental in helping to form the "community" that you are talking about. <BR/><BR/>The Genea-Blogger Group Games was a wonderful exercise in "focus" and in "connections", as you mentioned. <BR/><BR/>Your additional ideas are very good ones. I look forward to seeing how our community of genealogy bloggers develops in the future. <BR/><BR/>Count me in!<BR/><BR/>Lisa<BR/><A HREF="http://small-leavedshamrock.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Small-leaved Shamrock</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.tierneyhistory.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">A light that shines again</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.100inamerica.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">100 Years in America</A>Lisa / Smallest Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811771280872197611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-28327786358111840162008-08-25T21:23:00.000-05:002008-08-25T21:23:00.000-05:00Well said, Thomas.

The Bloggers Summit was great, but made me sad for the genealogists who attended hoping to find a session that would help them discover what blogs were, and how they could benefit from them. <BR/><BR/>When I saw the organizer in July, I suggested that we form a bloggers insterest group. If you organize it-- they will come. (maybe). I think you have a great idea to form some sort of bloggers group. I'm even thinking of proposing a session at next year's Jamboree to help blog readers get their feet wet. My mom and my aunt are now avid blog readers, but I'll bet there are more genealogists who would like a little help (or push).Family Curatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187854767575444823noreply@blogger.com
