Changes

To anyone trying to access the Red River Valley website in the last few days, you will have noticed it was down. The good news, is it's back...

I've been working with Dennis Matthews to get the site back up. We were able to obtain permission to host it on Rootsweb, which is a great solution since they permanently host some of the most important local and regional genealogy and history websites out there, and do it all for free. It's long-term and secure. Which is a relief since Dennis has worked so long and hard to preserve our local history.

The new website is located here; please note that the website has to rebuilt from the ground up from files retrieved from the Internet Archive (long story), so be patient - it'll be awhile until all the pages are back up...

Following

If you're reading this blog right now, and find that you like what you read, I urge you to 'follow' it. It's the simplest, easiest way to keep up with my posts without having to think about it. Want to know more?

All you have to do it glance to your right, and look at my right-hand sidebar here, for the 'Follow' button (like the example in this post), click on it, and follow the easy instructions. That's all there is to it! Never miss another fascinating post to St. Vincent Memories...

I also want to mention that there are literally YEARS of posts in the archives, so if you're new, be sure and check them out for a wealth of fascinating photos, first-hand accounts, and trivia from my hometown area...

Labels

I've noticed many readers are using the Label feature offered by my blog, courtesy of Blogger. I tweaked my layout today to one of the new templates that better serve this feature, so that now when you use it for keyword searches, you'll get more complete results (long story). Suffice to say, it's a better deal all around...
