In the past I’ve paid attention to what Lorelle VanFossen writes about WordPress at her “Lorelle on WordPress” site. She writes very well and provides a lot of helpful up-to-date information. I couldn’t help but also notice noticed that Lorelle has also written extensively about genealogy blogging. Here’s a link to one of her posts [...]
