I'm experimenting with Google "Sites" as a way of publishing
material which I've worked on for the last 25 years, and haven't yet
had printed on paper or posted on a website. In 1999 and 2000 I wrote extensively about the unique Quaker heritage of Deep River in North Carolina, which is on the web here. In 2005 I wrote blog entries about Roman Bogdanov, my Russian foreign exchange
student; started a blog on Randolph County (N.C.) history for my Chamber of Commerce 'Leadership Randolph'
class; and kept the weekly Asheboro Rotary Club newsletter 'The Tar Wheel'.
The original version of this Google program, called "Google Pages," made website creation as easy as blogging on Wordpress. Now they've turned "Pages" into "Sites" and I'm trying that out. I have piles of information I really need to
publish, on topics such as Textile and Industrial History, North
Carolina History, and Historic Preservation, and Randolph County History.
As I add pages, I will link to each topic from here:
Deep River, N.C. factories and mill villages
Historic Preservation
