Mid Year Review
Ian —Mon, 06/29/2009 - 04:00
Its near the end of June now and I figured that I would check in on my 2009 Goals and see how things are going so far.
- Lose weight
This is a carry-over from last year. I need to get down to 165-170. I should get there, but again...who knows. This one is starting to get important though, the longer I keep the weight on, the harder it is going to be to get rid of it.

itowler.com now on the Genealogy Blog FInder

Part of the great part about the internet is the ability to share information. This is really helpful for genealogy. Being able to share info and ideas about your ancestry is great, and the internet makes it even easier. But in order to share people need to be able to find you. Finding itowler.com just got a little eaiser. itowler.com is now listed in the Genealogy Blog Finder.
Itowler.com has been active now for about 4 years, and I have been posting about genealogy for about a year now. Blogging about my genealogy has been helpful in a number of ways, not the least of which is the ability to connect with other people working on the same familes. In order to make connecting with other people more effective, I use a number of tools, including SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and make sure that I submit my site to multiple search engines. You can not find new people to connect with if they can not find you.
