Every year, I say I will stick to the recommended short posts - and I never do. I seem to find it impossible to stick to one topic per letter, but cover a number. I did get ahead this year, by planning in advance, but now we are half way, I am only just keeping pace. Yes, I have been stressed out with each year's challenge, but do I stop doing it? NO. I have found that a lot of the stress can come, not just from the research and writing elements, but trying to keep up with reading and commenting on other contributions. This year I identified, at the preview stage, blogs to follow and added them to my Reading List. The new Facebook page " We are Genealogy Bloggers" has also helped a great deal in this respect. The result is I have come across a number of new bloggers with very interesting posts. The downside, perhaps, is that am not widening my reading into other areas of interest, but focused on family history. Keep going and I look forward to reading more about your Curry's. When I first saw you CurryAus blog title,my immediate thought was "Mm.....Intriguing - what are the links between Australia and Indian food? I now know better!

I planned to be get ready early and then mucked around changing my theme and wasted all the time pre April playing with different colours and fonts. It is about half way through and I cannot even remember if I told you this before - that's how I am going!!! I agree, next time, an easy theme and get posts ready before April. No picking a theme of names when you do not have someone in your tree for every letter. No adding a second theme of showing different family history help, skills or research methods! Nothing that required a numbers of hours searching first. Something that requires little sourcing and manipulation of blocks of text to make images. <br />Now that I got that off my chest I will stop taking the negative pills. Part of me is enjoying the satisfaction of meeting the challenge. I am glad I am doing this. I have found some interesting pieces of info and received 2 lots of old photos from readers.<br />Keep up the good work at your end.
