Copyright

This blog is copyrighted just by being online. I had NO idea that was how this all worked.

This means that I have published. I always thought that sounded so official. But apparently a blog and possibly Facebook counts.

Not only is that pretty awesome but terrifying at the same point. I've quoted several different people or sources in the process of writing this blog and I feel terrible that I didn't properly cite my sources (remember I'm a genealogist and footnotes are my life). Anything not sourced could be considered plagiarism.

With these discoveries I have decided today to be better at documenting everything.

I also learned that everything on Twitter is stored at the National Archives! CRAZY!
