New Blog Features

Vita Brevis has only been live for a week, and it looks like we're going to have a thriving community here. We have have lots of exciting content planned in the coming weeks, but in the meantime we've been reading your comments and are already rolling out a number of new features.

  • Subscription by email

By popular demand, you can now subscribe to the blog by email to be notified when we have new posts ready. Sign up on our subscribe page, or at the foot of every page. Additionally, when you comment you sign up to receive notifications to replies. Our subscribe page also includes links to our RSS feeds that you can use to follow our blog using a variety of readers like Feedly and Flipboard.

  • Easier comment login

You can now log in to comment using your Facebook, Twitter, or Wordpress.com accounts, making it easier to attach your identity to your comments.

  • Sharing by post

We've also added easy sharing buttons so you can share interesting posts by email or with your friends and followers on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and a variety of other social networks.

We hope you take advantage of these new features to stay in contact with us as we provide this new resource for family history.
