Blowed if I can find where Tahitia has joined the discussion . .  ::) :(   Been looking and looking!

Not the easiest site to travel around. 

Glad I did the course though . .  underlines so much of what I've learnt on here - and showed how much more I need to learn about referencing and citing!

Have you found her in your list of those you are following, Wiggy and clicked on her name to see her comments? If you then click on the topic where the comment was made you can read the whole conversation.

Totally agree about citing - mine is shameful!

That's the thing - I have ticked the box to say I am following Tahitia , . . . but her posts don't seem to be coming up on my list - possibly I am not looking at the right place.

 I will keep searching . . I will not be beaten!!!    ;D ;D

Thanks again William!

Finally found her comments . . .  bit of a let down after all the looking! ;)

I kept clicking on following but no-one that I am foloowing is showing up as having commented on anything in week 6 - - -  I don't think that's right though . . .

Ahhh well!  Tough!  ;D

As far as I can see she's only made 18 comment in the whole of the course and one of those was just introducing herself. None really pick up on any discussions they just recommend links. I expect most of us have made more comments than that.

I have just realised that if you click on activity and then your comments it is only those comments which others have replied to which appear. I can see all the comments I have made only by going to my profile.

Not the easiest of sites to navigate is it?

Well, I have just finished the last week.

Have to say I was really disappointed by the whole course (just my opinion, of course).
Very little factual content.

And Tahitia really needs to brush up on her presentation and public-speaking skills? ::)

Have also just completed week six and have to agree that there was some disappointment, didn't really learn anything new other than I need to cite my sources more often.  Quite honestly have learned more from this forum. ;)

Perhaps the Rootschatters are too advanced. If you were a raw beginner at genealogy (geneology  :-\ sorry couldn't resist ;D) it may be a good place to start...
