| 29 August 2006 | I am not generally dedicated to following fashion, but today I joined millions of others and started a Web Log (a.k.a. "blog"), courtesy of www.blogger.com, now part of the Google Empire. My Blog is at the Vousden One-Name Study Blog page, and is accessible from the main menu. The idea is that it will complement the What's New page on this site with a running commentary of what my Vousden researches and the One-Name Study are up to. It remains to be seen how well I keep this up, only time will tell. Thank you to Google Blogger for giving us such a good product. |
| 23 August 2006 | Two new web sites with lots of photographs and data for Vousden researchers added to the Web Links page. One is an excellent collection of photos of Kent Churches. The other is to do with Sandhurst parish and nearby villages on the Kent/Sussex border. |
