Not seeing the blindingly obvious

I started my ‘current’ family tree project in 1995 and I’ve been writing this blog for over a year. So how come it hadn’t occurred to me to put the two ideas together?
Paula mentioned Jackie Dinnis’s  site and it prompted me to pull out my family tree ring binder. Yes, if WordPress had been around in 1995 it would have been a much better medium for reporting the progress of my research.
Well, better late than never and I’ve now started setting up a separate blog for it but I can’t believe I didn’t think of it earlier.
