A few of my favorite things that I learned as I attended the family history fair yesterday:
1. You can make a free weblog by using www.blogger.com.
2. If you are retyping a document you can use software such as Nuance's Naturally Speaking to just dictate it verbally and finish around 3 times faster than if you had typed the document.
3. A digital camera can be a great tool in doing family history research. You can use it to photograph documents, people, places, cemeteries, etc.
4. Writing a personal history a little bit at a time can make the task more bearable, enjoyable, and interesting. You can also use software such as Personal Historian to help organize thoughts, ideas, and events.
