DearREADERS,
It is my honor to announce that Taneya Koonce, Tennessee US GenWeb State Coordinator, will offer a four-part series of webinars beginning in June titled WordPress for Genealogy. If you look at her TNGenWeb site, you'll see she is indeed qualified to give us some great advice -- whether you are just getting started or are an old pro at blogging. Each session will be 90 minutes in length, and feature the typical DearMYRTLE "workshop webinar" format with open Q & A and a whole lotta learning going on!
