Today, Ol' Myrt here was looking through the GeneaBloggers.com list of 3,200+ genealogy and history blogs to see what I might add to my Feedly blog aggregator. From my random clicks on blog titles, it would appear that many capable, well-intentioned genealogy bloggers are on a lengthy hiatus.

So, please WRITE. Please write, please share something every week. Share one document, one historical event or one handwritten slip of paper in your blog. I understand daily may be too much, but surely once a week you think of your siblings, parents or grandparents. Share an anecdote, a simple memory.
Yes, it matters.
Please write.
Your ancestors will thank you. So will your descendants.
