Researching my genealogy

I’ve always been interested in my family history. I know my paternal grandmother has been researching the family tree for the past 15 years; I’d seen the book she’d produced when I visited, and she’d share her discoveries with me from time to time, but I never really had the time to just sit down and pore through the book when I’d visit.

That changed this Christmas. My grandmother made copies of the book and gave them out as Christmas gifts. I don’t know how my relatives felt about this, as I haven’t spoken to any of them aside from my siblings, but my brother, sister and I were all justifiably excited by this treasure trove of genealogical gold we’d received.

Downloaded the WordPress for BlackBerry app

I’ve downloaded the WordPress for BlackBerry app, so updating my blog will now be nearly as easy as tweeting. Hopefully, this means I’ll update the blog a little more often in the future. Time will tell, I guess.

Gallery’s working now

It was brought to my attention that none of the photos in my gallery were actually visible anymore (they showed up just fine when I was logged in, so I had no idea). Turns out they were all set as “private” for some reason. That’s fixed now. While I was at it, I added a widget that randomly displays four images from my gallery on my blog pages.

I should really try writing something for the site more often. I have tons of tweets archived here, but actual blog posts are becoming fewer and further between. I’ve been working on my autobiography; maybe I’ll post some of the work-in-progress here.
