BTW, most if not all of my material is original and I do few if any memes, but I didn't get nominated, nor did some of the very best blogs.

It is a struggle to come up with fresh content when you've been doing it for years. I admit that's true. And sometimes it's nice to "join in" with others on a given topic (like the COG ;-) But I've stopped following over half of the blogs I once followed because their content became so predictable week-to-week and not relevant to anything but their own research. I miss the creativity we once saw in the genealogy blogging community (I too refrain from using the term Genea-bloggers anymore unless I'm referring to the specific group on FB). <br /><br />I miss all the off-genealogy-topic articles I used to see on others' blogs. It seems to me those really dropped off after the big migration to FB. I miss writing them too. I used to write about a lot of other stuff but then I was informed my blog wasn't taken seriously in the genealogy community because of all the off-topic articles I had. <br /><br />I look forward to reading your blog Lori. Yours is one I've never stopped subscribing to. Keep writing whatever moves you and I'll keep reading!Jasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561520746304048996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248183.post-34096387182899806452010-12-14T10:03:29.582-05:002010-12-14T10:03:29.582-05:00Lori,

I applaud your public admission of voting for creativity. I don't read every genealogy blog out there, but I am huge fans of the ones that give me something unique and original to read, learn, think about. <br /><br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
