North Carolina Genealogy

I’ve never been a big fan of “New Year’s Resolutions”. I guess the way I see it, if we want to change the way we do things, there’s no better time to start than right now and turn course and don’t look back. I don’t know, maybe the concept of the New Year’s Resolution seems to set us up for failure. Too many people give up once they’ve broken the resolution. They “fall of the wagon” so to speak and never climb back up on it. Well… I intend to get into a more regular schedule for posts on this site again. I know I’ve been sporadic in the past, sometimes posting a flurry of a half dozen articles at once and then nothing for months at a time. My intent is to get one article a week for the site. I’ll try to discipline myself somewhat after today so that I don’t dump several at once unless news warrants. I Can’t imagine what would be that newsworthy on a genealogy site that it couldn’t wait a week though…. after all we specialize in old news. 😉

Additionally,

In coming weeks, I’ll also be taking a look at a long overdue update of the underlying software that I’m running the site on. The version of WordPress I currently use here is still receiving updates, but the 2.3 series is preferred. The last time I looked at the possibility of an upgrade, I had a couple of challenges that made it look like a thicket I didn’t want to pursue, but the hosting account we’re in is about to get an upgrade as well, so it may be time to re-engineer the whole works.
