Version 3 of this popular presentation, relates to Blogs, Slideshare, GEDCOM-based Publishing (MyHeritage), and Self-Publishing. This presentation was originally planned to be given at the Society of Genealogists on Saturday August 14, 2010. The synposis reads: If you can e-mail, or upload files then you have enough knowledge and experience to publish to the web. The lecture will focus on the alternatives – Blogs, Slideshare, GEDCOM-based Publishing (MyHeritage), and self-publishing printed books. The hardest part is deciding what method you are going to use! The majority of us use the internet for searching, and exchanging information mainly by e-mail. If you have virtual presence the likelihood of others finding you increases significantly. Please note, this lecture does not include programming, web design, or setting up a website. However, you do not need these skills to publish to the web.
