Tips to Write an Excellent Genealogy Blog
If you have been in the genealogy world for a while, especially if you have been sharing your work online with others, you may become interested in writing a genealogy blog. It is an excellent way to put all your research and notes in one place where you can refer all those cousins you’re meeting, rather than writing the same thing out over and over again for them. You can also use your genealogy blog as a place to turn your research into stories, share memories of your own past, preserve family stories, traditions, and recipes from the generations you know personally, and even to preserve photos.

Motivational Tricks to Increase Your Productivity
The problem with creative pursuits — of any kind, not just photography but all other forms of art, too — is finding the motivation to get work done. I know from personal experience that there are just so many reasons to not get something accomplished. You’re not feeling creative enough, inspired enough, you don’t have that exact right piece of gear, there is no time. The list goes on and on.

As many excuses as I can make, however, the problem isn’t that obstacles are actively being thrust in my way. These things, they are just excuses. There is always a way to work around an issue, be it one with inspiration or a piece of gear that you don’t have. The problem, plain and simple, is one of motivation.
