eeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that is how I feel about all my blogs right now!
Last week I went to give my blogs a facelift and add some photographs, but I had met my Picasa photograph limit. 
(Surprise, I didn't read the fine print and I didn't realize I only had a certain amount of picture space in Picasa Album!!!  Go figure!!!)

The super frustrating part of this is:  over the last several months when I have tried to download a picture, I have had to do it several times because it would not download, OR so I thought.  Apparently, blogger was saving all of those duplications adding to the "max" in my Picasa Album.

First thing I did was delete all the cutesy clip art and all those duplicate pictures, however, I could not distinguish the difference between which photo was being used and the duplication photo just being stored in Picasa.  So, it was a gamble on which photo to delete!

Hummmm, I could purchase more gig space for a yearly fee or figure out something else.

Here is the problem, my genealogy blogs have take sooooooo much time to put together, that I just don't want the frustration and the complicated process of separating and moving them and re-posting them.  In addition, I would then need to re-direct the traffic I have already established.


So, for a fast quick fix, I went through and deleted a bunch of pictures.  Now I have a whole bunch of black boxes with a triangle and an ! where the photo's used to be!

Here is my dilemma: 
I believe every time I have a view on my blog I "advertise" Blogger.
Because I have so many blogs and have helped others set up blogs I also further their product.
For these reasons, I don't want to have to pay for more space. 


I don't really want to begin my own "web-site" because I am not an IT person and if I use Blogger, then they take care of all of the IT problems. 

So, my dear readers, please tell me what you have done about this problem.  Give me your feed back in either the comments or email me. 

Thank you.

Walking Where They Walked: Park Hotel

Park Hotel, Rock Springs, Wyoming, September 2013, RR&B 19 Elk Street, Rock Springs, Sweetwater, Wyoming The Park Hotel opened in 1914 and was the hub of Western Wyoming until the late 1950’s. It was the largest and most modern hotel in the city. Advertisements boasted of hot and cold water in each of its 38 rooms, twenty of which had private baths and toilets. The fourth floor was added in the 1920’s. The Park Hotel catered to commercial men and automobile tourists traveling the Lincoln Highway. The hotel had a boisterous barroom and a sedate restaurant with sparking white table cloths. Rock Springs Miner, 30 January 1914, page 1, Wyoming Newspaper Project online. One memory of the Park Hotel, is related by Thomas P. Cullen, “One summer afternoon while walking up Elk Street toward the C Street Crossing, my attention was drawn to the small crowd assembled near the north end of the Park Hotel. A slight man, of short stature, stood rolling up his pantlegs

What is a mortcloth?

A mortcloth, or pall, is a funeral cloth used to cover a coffin in the funeral ceremony or the deceased prior to burial.   The deceased’s family usually rented a mortcloth from the local church and after each use, the fabric was washed and readied for use again.   The word comes from the Latin word “pallium” meaning cloak. The Mortcloth case of 1792 begins:   “ For many centuries, and probably up to the 20th, the Church of Scotland was the sole supplier of mortcloths.   As the name would suggest, they were cloths used to cover the dead prior to burial, and after use, were washed ready for rehire. The Church hired these for a few pence, or in some cases loaned out these cloths, until the time of the funeral. The revenue raised by this service, typically around £40 pa, was distributed to the poor of the parish at frequent intervals.”   In the late 1780’s a local Society of Colliers decided to purchase and rent out their own mortcloths preventing the local church from making re

Bagillt, Flintshire, Wales (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagillt) The parish of Bagillt was gazetted on 23 May 1844, having been created from the townships of Bagillt Fawr, Bagillt Fechan, Coleshill Fawr and Coleshill Fechan, which were formerly in the parish of Holywell. It is located in the Northern part of Wales. (Genuki, http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/FLN/Bagillt/index.html)   The 1841 British Census finds Margaret(2) Roberts, aged four years living with her parents and siblings in Bagillt, Flintshire, Wales. In 1831, J. Poole penned: "Bagillt is a bustling place, and will continue so, as long as her smelting and coal works go on in their present prosperous state. Well conducted boats go from this place to Chester every day; with a favorable wind, these little barks make the 17 or 18 miles in little more than two hours."   (J. Poole, Gleanings of the histories of Holywell, Flint, St. Asaph and Rhuddlan, 1831 as qtd.  in http://www.genuki.org.uk/
