I decided to take a break from research today, due in part to this nagging pain in the neck (no literally, I pulled a muscle).\u00a0 I’m burnt out, I think, or maybe it’s the fantastic pain meds and muscle relaxers, I’m not sure.\u00a0 But anyway, I decided to explore the new genealogy tool created by our very own Thomas MacEntee.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gene@pedia<\/a> is a genealogy wiki.\u00a0 According to the description, it’s:<\/p>\n

Everything you ever wanted to know about blogging and genealogy but were afraid to ask! Gene@pedia<\/a> is a communal information resource directory for the genealogy community that anyone can edit!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So I explored the few pages that were available and thought I’d jump onboard.\u00a0 I created an account, verified my email address, and got to work.\u00a0 Mind you, this is the first of my wiki experiences, and did I mention the pain meds and muscle relaxers?<\/p>\n

Anyway, I started off by creating a “people” page for myself<\/a>, which is a page that lets you “enter information about yourself with links to your blogs, your websites, your projects and more. There’s also a place to include your surnames so we can see what family lines you are researching.”<\/p>\n

I then created “blog” pages for each of my blogs:\u00a0 GenBlog<\/a>, Who Will Tell Their Stories?<\/a>, The Chicagoland Graveyard Rabbit<\/a>, and The Graveyard Rabbit of Bloomington-Normal, Illinois<\/a>.\u00a0 Blog pages let you “market your blog to others interested in genealogy and family history.”<\/p>\n

And finally, on behalf of my fellow Graveyard Rabbits, I created an “association” page for the Association of Graveyard Rabbits<\/a> as another avenue for generating interest and boosting membership.<\/p>\n

At first I struggled with inputting information, being a newbie to this whole wiki thing.\u00a0 The coding is different than HTML, but once I caught on, it was smooth sailing.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t already, get over to the site and check it out.\u00a0 And if you’re up for it, create some pages!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
