@Margaret: Currently, most ancestor and genealogy programs will export an HTML page with the chart. With a little HTML and CSS knowledge, you can clean that up and add it to your site. How you add depends upon the site you have. I'll be writing more on how to do this manually soon. Stay tuned.

Is there any way to place an ancestor chart into the blog page. What I am doing now is scanning as a jpeg the handwritten charts and they do not look that good.

Thanks.

I do not have a blog about census records, though I have recommended some. The previous person who left a comment mentioned he had one. That is a different subject. For information on feeds, which may help your genealogy research, see Donâ€™t You Know What a Feed Is Yet? Get To Know Your Feeds!. For information on building a blog, see the links listed above (before the comments) and my other blog, Lorelle on WordPress, all about blogging and using WordPress.

I’m searching for a couple reliable and good blogs to help me learn genealogy. I did visit your site about census records, but can’t find your blog. Where can I go to learn the basics of RSS?

Thanks for this extremely useful blog about blogs. I've been doing genealogy for more than 25 years and have published a number of web sites (see 1930 Census), but had no idea how to create a blog. I decided to jump in head first earlier tonight and have created my first pass at Genealogy Worldwide, so take a peek and let me know what you think. I'll have to go back and customize now that I know how to better structure things.
