[Required?] Yes [Notes] There are several genealogy tools and utilities that may help display information about our family and family tree that work outside of the blog but on-site. Finding a method of incorporating these into the look and feel of the site will take some technical expertise, though they are becoming much easier to use. The issue of such incorporation as related to researching a blog hosting service and costs is to understand what the programs requirements in order to work on your blog’s site. They will take up server storage space. Estimate 50K to 10 MEGs of storage space to install and then an additional 1-20 megabytes of storage space to accommodate your family information. At a minimum, these programs may require MySQL database, PHP, Apache, FTP access, CGI, and/or Pearl. Research these first to make sure the web host you choose has the options these tools require before investing in a host. [Feature]
