Update - continuing the spirit of LVUG community now that Google+ is closing down.
Update of how we continue the spirit of Legacy Virtual Users' Group Community now that Google is closing down Google+ and apologies that I have been missing in action - spent the last two months helping parents move from their home to an "aging in place" residence (a really nice high rise with lots of benefits) and then moved my aunt up from San Francisco to be with family as she enters hospice - what a couple of months! But I DID NOT FORGET THAT GOOGLE+ IS CLOSING DOWN AND WE NEED TO MOVE (as well). What's with all this moving?
Shannon and I have been looking at what Cousin Russ did with his Google+ Community - he moved all the data over to a blog and it will "house" previous posts and comments. It seems to be working a treat AND SO
our project over the next three weeks is to export the Community data and then set up on blog (on either WordPress or Blogger - probably Blogger). There are a few ways to do it and so it might take a few days once we get the tech figured out. We will then post on the blog format and those with questions could send them to us as comments and we could answer as a blog post (I think that is how Cousin Russ' blog works - will confirm logistics with him in coming week).
Since this is a Community you have to ask to join - I do want to make sure that our members are okay with having their posts on the blog. If this is something you oppose, please comment below and we will see how we can delete your comments.
If any of you have other thoughts, please let Shannon and me know.
Please keep in touch. I’ve been joyed your posts our blog is NASWfamilyhistory.blogspot.com And genealogymama1.blogspot.comnaswfamilyhistory.blogspot.com - North America South West Area Temple and Family History Consultants
