Donna, I’ve been running a “picks” off and on as my “Harvest from the Blog Garden” — and more off recently. Like you I’ve been considering dropping it completely as (1) it takes a lot of time and (2) it seemed that I’d always stayed within the same group of writers. I decided to give it a rest for a few weeks — and to post short “shout out” articles when the urge strikes.

I think we both may be suffering from the doldrums of summer. I’ve missed your “picks.”

Donna,

I used to feel the way you do about the lack of photos–and I still do with respect to many of the other lines I’m researching! But I’m being careful, you what they say about getting what you wish for . . . .

Hi Donna!
I agree with Kathryn. I have about 70 blogs that I subscribe to in my Google Reader, and most have very interesting and often helpful (genealogy-wise) posts that I relish! But I usually don’t leave comments, ‘cuz “there just ain’t enough time in the day!” I do love to read them all and appreciate the work that everyone puts into their blogs.

Hi Donna,

I hope you will start doing your “Picks” again! Don’t be dismayed about the lack of comments. One thing I learned at the Jamboree Bloggers Summit and from Schelly’s Gen-Bloggers talk is that the problem is universal. The good news is that your posts are out there for future searchers to find.
