There are a few key things we rely on to make this all work &#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>We choose quality items to link to.<\/em>\u00a0You&#8217;d be surprised at how much of a difference this makes. Quality content tends to be more stable, which means the websites and links stick around instead of disappearing into the Internet night. Getting it right means a better experience for our users.<\/li>\n<li><em>We have some &#8220;insiders&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0 who regularly help with content review, including Laurie Beardall of the Sandy Granite Family History Center, and Barbara Hogeland of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.<\/li>\n<li><em>Our user community keeps us on our toes<\/em>. We get emails (info@thefhguide.com) when our users notice we&#8217;ve missed something on the website, or something isn&#8217;t quite right &#8211; and we appreciate it! We also have a Content Review form available in the Misc. menu on the website.<\/li>\n<li><em>We have a fast turnaround time for comments<\/em>. We usually reply back on suggestions within 24 hours, and when the idea is a winner &#8211; as it often is &#8211; we may be able to update the website the same or next day, depending on the nature of the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As we go forward, we&#8217;ll keep quality content uppermost in our minds; it has helped us expand to over 150 countries in the world, with an ever-increasing user base. It all goes toward the 3 &#8220;E&#8217;s&#8221; of our mission statement; we make learning family history easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1840\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/thumbs-up.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"557\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/thumbs-up.jpg 557w, https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/thumbs-up-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\u201cwv-ignore\u201d>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.websitevoice.com\/gdg8sme9Co8djc4uHOHRfA\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script>\n  window.wvData=window.wvData||{};function wvtag(a,b){wvData[a]=b;}\n  wvtag('id', 'gdg8sme9Co8djc4uHOHRfA');\n  wvtag('text-selector', '.entry-inner');\n  wvtag('widget-style', {\n    className: 'wv-circle-small',\n    contrast: 'wv-contrast-dark'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the stated goals of The Family History Guide website is to keep our content fresh and relevant.
