Last week I took a trip to NGS 2011 in Charleston, SC thinking I was to be meeting a few people and attending but finding out when I arrived that I would be presenting a class.I had a Netbook - 10 inch - no projector - and I found out no internet.I created a powerpoint presentation but had no way to show in any visible way. NGS hooked me up with a projector - thank you!I really needed the

While at NGS in Charleston SC last week I had the opportunity to teach a class on genealogy and affiliate marketing. I was hoping to show how to put up a blog but of course.....blogger was down. Luckily I had some screen shots.Thanks to those who attended the class. For those that missed it let me know if you need any help putting up a blog or just some questions answered about affiliate

Well now that my opinion no longer matters - see previous post. I have an opinion.The IBC was a very good thing. I think you are right - it should be free.But now it is gone - I do not know what they are going to do but I certainly hope they bring it back and when they do I hope I have something out there they want to cache. As an affiliate of Ancestry I especially want them to cache me.
