GB Winter 2010 Games--More medals

A recap of my first week of the Winter 2010 GeneaBloggers Games shows that I have competed in four of the six competition categories. I hope to complete those four by Monday and concentrate on the final two the remainder of the week. I have done nada on the Back Up Your Data and Organize Your Research--both of which need some serious work by Flipside.

I reinjured my left leg at work last night, so was home today with my leg up, thus giving me some valued time to work on the games. I was able to write and submit:

-Memorial Page for my Aunt Barbara Ann McGoey Hughes on Facebook and Footnote
-Indexed the Pool/Poole marriages in Monongalia County, West Virginia to the West Virginia USGenWeb Archives.

-Three posts in draft mode and pre-publish them for this week. I never knew you could do this!
