I dig up and unearth the stories of my ancestors. Then I put them up for display (often without cleaning off any dirt or unsavory details) so my viewers and future generations of Austins can cherish them.

“New to genealogy? Or are an experienced expert but lack the technology background to begin research at home? Many of my posts discuss the ways in which I was able to make the transition and greatly expand my family tree using Internet-based tools.”

What makes the blog worth visiting?
The Web has changed the rules. Prior to the Web, we only had two options to get the word out about our products and services–buy expensive advertising or convince the media to write about us. But, we’ve been liberated because now we publish great content that drive people to our products and services directly.

Blog Title Miss Geeky
Blog URL: http://missgeeky.com
Blog Tagline: none
What makes the blog worth visiting?
A blog about all things I think is geeky: movies, tv shows, video
games, books, but also events and other stuff I go to.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Why am I Miss Geeky?
I’ve been geeky my whole life; I don’t think there has ever been a time that I didn’t see myself as a geek. Since the age of 6, I’ve been addicted to TV shows (my first passion) and still follow at least 20 shows at a time. I love and am obsessed about movies, so much so that my friends call me a walking IMDB. I read a lot of fantasy books and I own more than 500 of them. I get easily hooked on video games; I’ve had my share of all-nighters playing on till daylight. So, is that geeky enough?
