I don’t think putting a pedigree on a blog would be easy, or desirable. Not even a Register Report, in my opinion, which will never be humble. BUT…I do think Family Group Sheets would be well received.

Quick, easy-to-read items are the main staples of blogs. And Family Group Sheets would work well. There are a few other charts or forms that might, too.

I’ve several standard and a few unique forms on my FREE website: http://www.ShoeStringGenealogy.com/ssg1.htm. Come take a look and I hope you enjoy your time.

Happy Dae.

My apologies. I saw the file attached to the thread with that title, and assumed it was a plugin. Reading the thread more throughly I see that you are correct. That thread is more about installing them side by side with a uniform look.

I am surprised that there isn’t a plugin for wordpress, as users have made TNG plugins for several CMS’s including Nuke, Mambo/Joomla, and droopal, to name a few.

Marcus, I don’t actually see a plugin - it looks like it’s just a way to set up a script in the program.

Marcus, I love the idea of a WordPress genealogy plugin. Thanks for providing this information.

After I posted the link, I found that someone had created a TNG/Wordpress Plugin. It’s available on the TNG support site: http://www.tngforum.us/index.php?showtopic=2181

For Genealogy stuff on the web, I use Darrin Lythgoes, TNG Genealogy software. There’s not a specific plugin for integrating Wordpress and TNG, but it should be pretty easy to install them side by side, and keep the look consistent between applications.

It’s $29, but well worth it in my opinion. http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php

Annegb,

I had a similar experience in recent months - where a story from my family history helped me take an interest in doing genealogy.

That story from your family history certainly sounds very interesting.

It’s a good thing that I stumbled on here, Daniel, because since I got involved with that Mountain Meadow thing — total serendipity, I think I’m being bitten with the family history bug.

I’m even thinking of taking a day and exploring cemeteries, to get the full story. I know her name now–the girl–although I have no proof she was in the massacre. But I know three of her direct descendants–they’ve all heard the story, too, I’m inclined to believe it’s true.

Two of them are related to me, but on the other side of the story.

I should probably be posting this on MM. Oh well.
