Blogging your tree?

[andycand]

Hi

The photos I wold use are all family-owned so no probs there

Whilst they may be family-owned it's a good idea that for any photos passed on to you by another family member that you get there ok.  One of the regular complaints on Rootschat and other forums relates to the publication of photos on the likes of Ancestry without permission

Maybe what started out as a quite innocent idea is just like a minefield!

To have to be so careful of putting anything out there (which, to be honest is ALREADY out there) makes me feel like abandoning it before it's even got underway!

Have you thought about a forum instead ?  (Rather like this one ?)

I have one which I run for invited interested parties only, so no public access.   However, it's not as easy to set up as a blog, and you do need some web space to make it happen.

The (free) software I use is from Simple Machines

I use it to keep up with family, and to keep in touch with others that I've met whilst researching my tree.

A forum!?!

I don't think I could devote the time I'd need for that!

A forum......


(but thanks Nick, for the suggestion!)

Blogger can be set up as a private blog, viewable only by those who log in with the appropriate approved email and password.

Publishing your family tree on a blog is a great way to share your genealogy and has become quite popular.

I wouldn't post information about LIVING persons, however.  That could get ugly with family members! 

Blogging genealogy is a fun way to share with your family and allow others to assist you in your genealogy pursuits.  I enjoy it.  Once you publish your blog - you are the copyrite holder, even though you have not PAID for the copyrite, yet.

This sounds a bit more hopeful! Can I change the status of my current blog page on Blogger? I may well have to explore this option!

Thnks!!
