GeneaBloggers [see geneabloggers.com] has suggested using Daily Blogging Themes. They suggest... "Many genealogy and family history bloggers like to post every day but at times are at a loss for ideas. Using the series of blogging themes below is not only a great way to create new content, but also lets you participate in a community effort with other genealogy bloggers." Genea-Musings added the last two.
Check it out! Will this work for you?

Hello Dr. Bill!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for highlighting our Daily Blogging Themes at GeneaBloggers. For new bloggers or even those writing their own family stories, the themes can help give some structure and provide prompts especially when writer's block sets in!
Cheers
I have posted Tues, Wed and Thurs this week. Do you pick them up automatically, or do I need to do something else, to get them shared?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
;-)
