Then I went back through each and every posting to make all of those links happen, but not being able to do all of the postings at one time, a few of them got missed. Not knowing how many got missed and being the meticulous person that I am, (some call it anal, others call it OCD), I just have to go through all of the postings one by one and completely redo each post and make sure that they are connected to every link that they should be connected to and re-label them accordingly.
I am even going to add new labels as I go, that include the source where that information came from as well. The source will be identified on each post as always, but now you will be able to look at all of the postings associated with a specific source with just one click.
And, just because all of the re-postings and linking each post every way possible to all of its appropriate labels and pages is not enough work to do, I also came up with my new "Exhumed" section. This section will contain the new "Funny Bone" and "Neat Stuff" labels, as well as another connection to the “Paper Trail” section which is explained below.
I will be doing this as fast as I can, because I am just itching to get all of the information I have posted for family historians to find. I have countless pieces of information gathered from literally tens of thousands of newspapers from all over the United States.
Quite simply, the tabs at the top of the page contain information specific to that tab:
"Name" : You can search by surname, or contained within, alphabetically by letter.
"Births" : Has postings of birth notices.
"Burials" : Has postings of burial notices.
"Deaths" : Has postings of death notices.
"Found !" : People that I found information for that I can link to on Find A Grave at the time of the blog posting.
"Marriages" : Has postings of marriage notices.
"Obits" : Has postings of obituaries.
"Paper Trail" : This is my affectionate name for the best golden nuggets of information. This contains newspaper articles about people that you don't see every day.
All of the information has been transcribed and I will add photos or copies of articles if I can, as I do not have photos or scans of all of the information that I have.
Other labels that can only be seen on the side bar and at the bottom of the page. (If I add these to the top, then the blog gets too wide and you have to scroll from side-to-side and that is annoying to me.)
"Funny Bone" : Just funny articles found in my travels.
"Neat Stuff" : Other articles that are, well, just interesting. {Note! "Neat Stuff" ended up becoming "Passport Passages" to keep with the travel theme of this blog.}
"Sources" : You can see the postings that I have pulled from various newspapers and other sources.
At the bottom portion of the pages, are the links to all available pages so that you can make a quick jump to that page, subscription feed link, etc.
I hope you enjoy this site. Don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail or post a comment on anything to let me know!
