Three 'W's - who, what and why

Hi - I'm Mel.

This is my first ever blogger post.

I attended a talk from Jill Ball about "Beaut Blogs" -- As a first-timer to the 15th Australasian Congress on Genealogy and Heraldry in Sydney,  it was my first session on the first day.  Afterwards I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I have wanted to do a blog for a long time....  but with most things I say to myself - "I'll do it later" - then get too busy, convince myself it will be too hard, or just forget...

This time I said to myself "Mel - JUST DO IT "

Well, I have to admit -- first time, I just couldn't get it to work out the way I wanted (using free Wordpress), so after some advice from Jill, I tried with free Blogger instead.  Jill suggested using WikiHow to guide me.

So I'm not saying that I have a "Beaut Blog" (yet) but now I've started a blog and I think that I can build on this...  more things to try from the Congress coming up soon.
