Sundee/Gail Morgan has a new entry page that allows access to the rest of the pages. All external URLs have been resolved, all email addresses were checked and those that bounced were flagged. Doing some touchup on page format/colors for a handfull of pages that have Front Page-themes assigned that didn't work but I'm pretty much done. I hung a ready for new occupant sign. Lee Caretaker

I have completed code clean up work, tried to improve the look, consistency, and navigation on all the pages in the main directory and CCinfo and Map. You probably can find pages you've never seen before.. For instance the about CoGenWeb/USGenweb, tin type and others which I had not found any links to. I made the links to the counties consistent. I checked all the counties that their URL's do not end in / or index.htm/index.html, anything that worked by going to the root directory I changed to / which is all that is needed. There were a few counties that do not have an index file and if you go to the root directory it shows the file list instead of the website. They should all make a copy of their main page and name it index.html, this will fix the problem. They should leave the main page in place so it doesn't break any links, but I would set it up to redirect the page to the index page. This needs to be in the head tag some where. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=index.html"> That is what I did with the comain.htm page. They would have to change all the links in their site that go to something like "comain.htm" to index.html It's not that hard, it depends on the capability of your program you are using to edit. First open county(whatever).html to edit it, save it as index.html This creates a new file with out changing the original. I don't know if it can do a global find and replace but you will need to change your links. in your pages to your original page to index.html. Like I did with the Cogen site and changed <a href="comain.htm">home</a> to <a href="index.html">home</a> Then reopen county(whatever).html put the following line some where in top of the head anywhere above the </head> tag will work. Save it normally. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=index.html"> This then makes your lake.html page when it is loaded send people to your index.html page. Eventually everyone and search engines will pick up on the new page. I also got a "550 /robots.txt: no such file or directory" error when their sites loaded, I think it is because they do not have an index.htm or index.html file. The following counties NEED an index.html file!!! There were others that could use an improvement to theirs. If you go to the root URL it shows the directory of the files because there is not an index.htm or index.html file. http://www.rootsweb.com/~coeagle/eagle.htm Eagle, JoAnn Potter Riggle http://www.rootsweb.com/~cogarfie/cogarmain.htm Garfield, Vikki Gray http://www.rootsweb.com/~coyuma/yuma.htm Yuma Lee Zion Scott Scheibe dsscheibe@earthlink.net http://scottsworld.info/gene.htm Colorado State CoGen Webmaster <http://www.rootsweb.com/~cogenweb/> Alamosa Co., Costilla Co., Mineral Co. & Rio Grande Co., Saguache Co., Colorado Coordinator, CoGenWeb, part of the USGenWeb Project <http://www.rootsweb.com/~coalamos/> <http://www.rootsweb.com/~cocostil/> <http://www.rootsweb.com/~cominera/> <http://www.rootsweb.com/~coriogra/> <http://www.rootsweb.com/~cosaguac/> Descendants of Capt.

Yes it is very informative.. and this caught my eye.. 1888 -Band of Utes from Utah under Colorow make last Indian raid into Colorado; they are defeated and returned to the reservation. This was the only campaign the militia from Leadville was in. They traveled over in the area of Rifle and then ended up prepared for battle at Rangley against Colorow when the Buffalo Soldiers came out of UT and convinced Colorow not to fight and sent him back to the reservation. They had barricaded themselves in the town of Rangley prepared to battle with Colorow. The Militia took the train to Gypsum and then got their horses and rode from there on horseback and then went back to Gypsum and took the train back to Leadville. g

Hi Scott, Mary Ann is gone completely from Colorado. I have no idea who is taking care of those websites, if anyone. I would just about imagine that the Who's Who pages could be deleted and it would take more time to gather new information on everyone and who really reads it, it doesn't pertain to genealogy.

Scott re: cc/county listing Two problems with your Morgan Co listing. You have "~coMorgan" instead of "~comorgan" so it gives a broken link. Megan Trew is our Morgan CC (she checked in New Years Eve) but is apparently still having troubles accessing the directory to make changes. Your "Unknown" county entry on the last line certainly wasn't founded in 1889 from Bent and doesn't have Lamar as county seat. re: COGenWeb Special Projects Mary Ann Hetrick was our State Coordinator until the summer of 2006 when she resigned. I don't know if Sundee recovered the password for conames (Native Americans) or cokids? but Sundee would appear to be responsible for Gold Mine since it is in the main directory. re: USGenWeb Special Projects I thought you were going to add a section below the COGenWeb Special Projects for links to the Colorado pages of the USGenWeb ones?

Lee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Herman" <jan_herman@yahoo.com> Hi All, I think that's another good reason to keep them on cogen's county sites. By putting the name and dates of the headstone on it it's also hard to get rid of. I'll check with my son who is the website guru here, there's got to be a way to put something like a watermark on photo's. If Cogen doesn't agree with me, I'll put them up on my hist. soc. web site. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to COGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
