Behind the scenes

.
Now that this blog is 'up' and the two web sites are up, I have been working on some promotion of the sites.

So far, I've submitted my sitemaps to Googlebot, so when they get indexed, it will be easier for you to search for items there. I will also submit my sitemaps to Microsoft BING and Yahoo! search engines. And there are others.

I've posted information on my site at Facebook, the USGenWeb Archives, and at Rootsweb/Ancestry.com. This is a good start, but I still have more to take care of. One of the first things to pick up on would be a notice to the libraries that hold copies of the original paper book published in 2005. Their readers will want to know they can see it all in color.

I have made a list of more places to get the word out, but it all takes time. It seemed that putting the web sites together would be a lot faster and easier than preparation and follow up for a regularly-published book, but I'm not so sure. I had no problem getting the webs up and ready, but since different procedures are involved, there is a learning curve while one goes through all the help files.

I have to say, though, it is a rewarding project. And it is out there for the world.
