This morning I was reading through blogs on my Google
Reader account and saw the latest post from The Armchair Genealogist. Titled “8 Tips and A tool for Self-Editing Your Family History Blog” she really hits it on the head with this one. If you are a writer, part time blogger, or
general researcher, go check it out.
I have been known to rush through a post here and
there. The excitement of sharing my
find, pushing it on out there, just gets me all in a tizzy. Sometimes I only read it through once before
I hit publish. Then I cringe when a week
later I notice a grammatical or spelling error.
Jeesh, what people must think about it!
Luckily, no one has ever written me a nasty comment about my lack of grammar
and spelling skills.
In the future I am going to try and follow her tips
listed. It may drag out the process a
bit longer, but that will be a good thing if I can get into a good rhythm of
writing, editing, and posting. I even
went out to iTunes this morning and picked up the book she suggested. The Little Red Writing Book looks like it may
come in handy.
