Sometimes, someone becomes so well known for one thing, that we forget that a person can actually wear several hats!  That is the case for the man that I’m honouring today – Mr. Thomas MacEntee. If you’re a blogger – and you haven’t been hiding under a rock – then you know that Thomas is “Mr. Geneablogger” – the whirlwind behind GeneaBloggers and Bootcamp which provide encouragement to genealogy and family history bloggers and logistical support to the organizers of various blogger activities.

But that’s not what I want to talk about today! Today, I want to recognize Thomas MacEntee  for his work on his personal blogs, especially   Destination: Austin Family.  Rather than prattle on for several more paragraphs, I thought I’d just let his work stand for itself. I’m linking to a few posts that will show you why I think Thomas MacEntee deserves the Janice Puckerbrush Award For Excellence in writing.

Apparently, Thomas has some spare time on his hands(!)  so he’s also writing a  “how-to-blog” book just for us genealogy bloggers, and I’m sure it will be a great resource for all of us. I wonder if he’s going to find a way to work the word “zombie” into the title?
