Re the lack of photos, I like Jana's suggestion above as a way of adding some graphics to a post. . Nearly alll my blogging has focused on my mother's ancestry. I have very little from my father's side, with his parents and grandparents very shadowy figures and only a few photographs and no memorabilia, so I find it challenging to make out a story from their lives. On the positive, I have made contact with three distant cousins through my blog and I too have learnt a lot from the blogging experience. Good luck for your blog future!

I enjoy writing the stories, but have a very limited number of photos and had nearly zero stories passed down to me. I keep hoping to lure more family out of hiding and hope that they will feel compelled to share at least pictures of some of the family goodies they may have (such as photos and memorabilia.) I've tried to measure my success in terms of new family connections and the things I've learned because I blog. <br /><br />Sadly I let my blogiversary pass by without notice because I was out of town.

Thank you for your kind comment, and your constructive idea of creating a logo via Picmonkey which I had not heard of before. I like your logo on your Norwegian Ancestors, and must explore this idea further,.

I did like my A-Z challenge and have a few partially written posts I need to finish up and post. I think I am in my 5th year but I would have to check.

Here's a link to one of my blog posts as an example: http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2015/03/leaving-norway-iver-iverson.html<br /><br />Congrats again on 5 years of blogging!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.com
