Great idea! Especially like having the 52 Weeks series topics in advance.

Thank you! I especially like it that the weekly prompts for 52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History are on there. That way I can plan ahead for a post. Last year, often I didn’t post because I didn’t have time that particular week.
