January 24, 2021
ConferenceKeeper.org is the most complete online calendar of genealogy events of all kinds – webinars, meetings, workshops, conferences and more!
. . . . . .
Hi! I’m glad you found the “What’s New” page here. I’m trying a few new things this week. One of them is to minimize the email content and link the bulk of it to this page where you can find the list of the events we added this past week. With almost a hundred new events added weekly any more, the email was getting a bit out of hand. Hopefully you’ll find this just as helpful!
I’ve started making a few other small changes to the way events are listed. I am beginning to add ($) to events that may have a charge with them. Don’t let that deter you though — some events may only be asking $1, $2 or $5 for some awesome content, and the fee helps a society be able to continue to provide great content.
Another very minor change is that to clean up the long event titles that appear on the calendar, I’m starting to move the hosting society information to the very first line in the description.
As always, if you have any comments or suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Email me at info@conferencekeeper.org and let me know what you think of these changes. I’m always open to whatever it takes to make ConferenceKeeper.org as useful as possible!
