I am a history junkie, and a sucker for history blogs. If you are interested in writing your own, or your family’s history, one of the best ways to get inspired is to read history blogs, which are often about little-known figures or events of the past that influenced how we live today.  Here are two of my favorites:

1) Great History: The Best Blogging in History. http://greathistory.com/

This site’s aim is to highlight the best and brightest history bloggers on the net. They provide a huge pool of interesting and entertaining history blogs, for every era and just about every topic. Written not just by excellent historians, but by excellent writers.

2) Wonders and Marvels  http://www.wondersandmarvels.com/

This blog’s tagline is “A community for Curious Minds who love history, its Odd Stories, and Good Reads.”  If you love the oddities of history, this blog is one of the most seductive you’ll ever read.  And she recommends the most wonderful books, also quite odd.
