HistoryOrb.com

Hi All,

Long-time readers of this blog might realize that I have a 'thing' for history websites.  That's okay - we all have an interest way or another....

History Orb is a neat - and well organized - website that has links to Historical Events, Famous Birthdays, Weddings, Famous Deaths, Famous People, Events by Date, Events by Day and Events By Country.  There is also a search box at the top right part of the screen where users can enter the name of a person, an event, a place/location or a year...There is also a link for Today in History By Topic.

The site is nicely organized, easy to navigate and well, just fun to peruse!

Enjoy the site.

The Happy Birthday Post

Hi All,

Here's something that we all have: a birthday.  Whether or not you celebrate it or just want to bury the date under a rug and forget about it, the day is there. Its the day you were born.

Click on this link for 'Famous Birthdays on This Day in History' from Historyorb.com.  Things to note about this very, very long list:

1. The list is international and, as a result, you might not be familiar with some (most) of the names.  From the list on March 28th, I recognized the following: Lady Gaga, Edwar Ramirez, Julia Stiles, Vince Vaughn, Ken Howard, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Maxim Gorky.

2. The list goes all the way back in history to 37AD...

3.  Users can visit Historyorb.com and use the search box on the main page (at the right side of the page) to search by Day, Month, Year, Type, and Keywords.  Users will be find results for historical events that occurred on the date chosen.

4.  Also on Historyorb.com are links to Today in History, Historical Events, Famous Birthdays, Deaths, Famous People, Dates, Weddings/Divorces on This Day and Deaths.


Kind of cool, eh?
