Tonight I launched a very bare bones Facebook page dedicated to my blog. It is my hope that people not on my friends list who come across it will enjoy it as well as allowing people on my friends list who are not interested in my blog to avoid having to see posts about it.
Now on to some thoughts that occured as a result of my past few weeks of research and redesign.

iPhone Keyboards
Just a quick note to share...
I love all the iPhone keyboards!!!
Since I’ve been spending more time on genealogy and using my phone to help in my research, the ability to type names of people and places properly on a computer and on a mobile device has become crucial. At this point in time, I have added 4 extra languages for ease on my iPhone. As I go further in my research, I’m sure I will add more. Some are for fun, like the Greek, Icelandic, and Norwegian languages, but this morning I added French because of all the time I’m spending on my BERTHOULIER line.
With names like François BERTHOULIER and Montigney-lès-Cherlieu, quickly accessing the non-English letters is important. The letter variants are typically available on the English keyboard, but when you switch to the appropriate keyboard, spellcheck enacts and words that would have been flagged as misspelled in English are no longer flagged. I don’t know about you, but I really detest seeing all those red squiggly or dotted underlines. I still get them when a surname is all caps, but that’s the nature of the genealogical beast. Lol

TealNotes.com and New Year's Resolutions
This is a long post today, so don't say I didn't warn you!
I know I certainly have a difficult time keeping up with it. I thought I could sort it out a bit more, by creating mail filters and multiple email accounts, each covering a different aspect of my life. If you thought a single account was difficult to keep up with, try seven!
Email Overload
If you're anything like me, you sign up for newsletters willy nilly and it soon fills your email inbox to capacity. Many people I know, and you might be like this too, very rarely check their email inboxes. We input our email addys into the form and forget about it.I know I certainly have a difficult time keeping up with it.
