    3. What you're bumping up against is the "literality" of computers. "John O. Jones" is not identical to "John Jones". This is a problem I face in my Taylor Family Genes site; it has a sub-directory devoted to user-submitted family trees, https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.TaylorFamilyGenes.info_fam-2Dtrees&d=DwICAg&c=kKqjBR9KKWaWpMhASkPbOg&r=AGsq94QXfKqnOmeiylQOdyiSx1pxsPac8QlHnLzZS9o&m=ylzZ5g8rHKaN_O47rHEvpvhn0S6H9M-Hp3zOqGh7kuc&s=LPKirS4c_JxYmLsS_evU8JcG6Zhf0oAQAmJNfuCGkYY&e=. To facilitate search-engine performance, I edit name and date information to put it in standardized form. (Submitters use too many different conventions.) I don't think you should change original documents to make them fit the search engine. But you could add name-varaint labels to the docs to make them findable. Sort of like putting "keywords" in a meta tag. If each document is in a separate file (and then "included"), you could you could use meta tags in the head section to help the search engine. Your labels wold not be visible on the page but they would render the file findable. -rt_/) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 11:22:00 -0400 From: William Thompson <billthompson76@gmail.com> Subject: [FreeHelp]Identifying People for Site Searches To: freepages-help@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <CAJb8BhZ_HrA8tAD2vDDu86YnHw2_WbyvuxKN-cTsRpBiqaJxmg@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I use a site search service that works the way it's supposed to -- matching words.

Jones] -- put it right into the text. ------------------------------ 1. Thanks for the suggestion. The letters are transcribed. That's why the site search (I'm currently using FreeFind) works. But it only works if the words in the query are exact matches. Most of the names have been turned into links, so when reading a page, it's easy to click and find out who is being referred to. It's not a matter of avoiding work, it's a matter of minimizing the obtrusiveness -- both in terms of the flow of reading and preserving the look of the original. But letting the browsers do their thing without trying to impose the kind of control you can get with word processing or desk top publishing. Your suggestion certainly does allow searching -- but still requires the search to guess what to search for. I was hoping to add multiple index term, such as "John Quincy Jones", "John Jones" and sometimes "J. Quincy Jones" -- without cumbering up the page with a lot of distracting text when many people are referred to..

    1. [FreeHelp]Re: FREEPAGES-HELP Digest, Vol 13, Issue 200 Filezilla
    2. Sara Stewart
    3. Hi Neil, I am not one of the regulars but have used Filezilla a lot. Maybe I can answer your question. First, assuming I am reading your description of the procedure you're using correctly, you don't need to highlight the file on both the left and right panes. Just highlight it on the left (files on your computer) pane. Once it is highlighted, right-click and a menu will come up that will include the word "upload." Select "upload." Hopefully that's all that is needed. But there is one "gotcha" that may have got you. I have found that if I keep my text editor and Filezilla open at the same time, and make changes through the text editor, I need to refresh the display in Filezilla before I upload. Make a change to a file in Kompozer and jot down the time that you changed it. Now switch over to Filezilla. On the RIGHT side of the LEFT pane, there will be a date and time stamp under the header "Last Modified." The date and time displayed there should be the date and time you changed your file in Kompozer. If they are earlier, you need to do a refresh. (Caveat - I am using the linux version of Filezilla so my screen may not look exactly the same as yours, but it should be similar.) On the top of the Filezilla screen you will see a bar with a series of icons. One will look like two arrows pointing in opposite directions. If you run your cursor over it, there should be a tool tip saying "Refresh the file and folder lists" or something very similar. Click on the icon. The date and time stamp should change to the time you changed your file in Kompozer. Now you should be uploading the latest version. To see if the upload took place, you can check the date and time stamp for the file on the RIGHT side of the RIGHT (Rootsweb) pane. Or just look at your web site. Hope this helps, Sara Stewart On Thu, Aug 23, 2018 at 1:14 PM JFlorian <cageycat@gmail.com> wrote: > Edit File. > Close Editor. > Open Filezilla -- or Refresh the program. > Connect. > Make sure you are "in" your site on Right. > Navigate to Local copy (left side). make SURE you choose your > destination!

Navigate to Local copy (left side). make SURE you choose your destination! If your file is in folder "maps" on Left. move to "maps" on the Right side too. Right Click on your EditedFile.

    3. Neil, once you right click on the file, do you select an action? Right click > Select Upload > Dialog box pops up with message Target Files exists > Overwrite> Click OK. Go to http://sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/ in whatever browser you use and View the page you just uploaded. Can you see the change? If not refresh your browser window (Ctrl + R or F5). If you still cannot see the change, then the file was probably not published.

Top right pane for remote site should show /boyerlinks/genealogy_html Under that would be the list of files and folders that make up your site.

    3. Hi Billie, I'm not doing the hard work for Google. I'm doing it because the site was a huge mess (too many prior webmasters using different backgrounds), and am learning External CSS. I converted all the freepages sites, but had this County site left to do. The site is over 6,000 files, and heavy on map images, photos, and huge tables. Table-wise, I thought I had to convert tables, too, to CSS. Instead now, I'm gonna focus on cleaning them up (mso tags, in line styles everywhere) and see how to make them just behave. Somewhere in a thread, someone asked about Mobile Friendly, which I answered. But all this hard work, that's so I'm not ashamed anymore of a mismatched site and can be proud of it when I pass it on. If my hands and tremors cooperate... and I quit double-tapping...and pain travels off on a vacation... maybe I'll be done by Spring (2 years since I started the conversion). Judy

    3. I don't remember the exact quote but I seem to recall that you were doing all that hard work, removing tables etc., to get a better ranking on Google. The point I was attempting to make was not so much that your pages needed to be "mobile ready" but that what you were doing might not be needed for Google. Did I misinterpret? If so, I apologize.

    3. Valerie, I'll look at it next hour. All my old html tables use padding 0 or padding 3. It will be nice if that is the issue. J

    3. Billie, Again, Barry **already** did the viewpoint tag for me when Google first announced this. Back in 2016 or 17 ? Again, I was answering someone ELSE. I do not have any issues about Mobile tags. J

    3. Judy, if you went to the Google pages I linked it tells you that the "viewpoint" tag is one of the things that Google looks for to make sure your page is "mobile ready" for better listings.

    3. Judy, I've just been looking at the page source on your website view-source: http://sites.rootsweb.com/~pawashin//migration-biographies/ohio/jefferson-co-ohio/wash-natives1.htm in which your cell padding and spacing is given as "0", which seems to work - not sure why you appear to have altered it to "3".
