“View from the Empty Nest” is your place for consumer alerts, reviews, tips, hints, and how-tos..

I’ve spent the past few weeks working on “View from the Empty Nest“, my new blog that was inspired by readers of my genealogy blog who indicated they would love to see a place for reviews and alerts about genealogy products and services.

There appears to be a marked increase in deceptive or scam websites attempting to divert the revenue that can be made from those of us who are dedicated (and addicted) to the genealogy quest. This is my response to provide a venue for honest and open discussion of what is beneficial and what to avoid.

I’ve also noticed a murky online world for us ‘bloggers’. I’ve fallen for a few pitfalls and scams that cost me considerable time and money and have made a concerted effort to document them on this site for the information of other bloggers.

Since there are also plenty of questionable sites covering numerous topics, etc., I decided that I would set it up for any topic at all, and make it accessible to the reader. There are three ways to provide input, feedback, reviews, tips, hints and articles:

• The contact form in the sidebar.
• The comment field available following posts.
• The customer review fields following selected posts where a review is relevant.

I’m excited about getting this site off the ground and can’t wait to see things start ‘buzzin’!

Be sure to check it out, speak out, provide feedback, and know that your comments and suggestions about the site itself are most welcome.
