Last week I tried publishing the GenMates News Update here on the Blog and we received a very positive response to it. So going forward we will publish here and send an email to GenMates members letting them know that the latest update is online!

A number of members have written to me and told me that they love the idea of Blogging but haven’t a clue what to do! So for them I have put together a new Squidoo Lens which explains how to Blog! You can take a look at it by clicking on The Blogging Guide. It is also complimented by our more advanced Blog for those who would like to make some money from their blogging. You can check that out by clicking on Blogging for Money.

GenMates itself has now risen to nearly 600 members and in the coming week we are due to be featured in Family History Monthly which we hope will see a further influx of members. Our 1911 Census Online Petition is also featured this month in Your Family Tree! Both Magazines are available from 28th September 2006 in the UK

The free offer of my Introduction to Scrapbooking ebook together with Shaking The Family Tree is still available for those who haven’t managed to get a copy yet. You can grab a copy by going to An Introduction to Scrapbooking.

You will remember that I mentioned all the problems we were having with 1and1.co.uk The Worst Web Hosts I haave ever encountered! Well some good came out of it as we now have a couple of additional domains registered which we think you will find of interest. Those are The Amateur Genealogist and The Beginner’s Guide to Genealogy

Just returning to the subject of Squidoo - if you have been looking for a way to put together your own website at no cost then Squidoo is definitely a possibility for you! You can join up by going here: Join Squidoo and if you want to take a look at my first Squidoo Lens then click on Genealogy and Family History.

I also look forward to seeing you at GenMates soon!
