TY for the heads up, Pat.  I haven't been active much here, but want to build my free page safely in the future.  I wonder about using "Legacy" software which I had gotten as a gift, but didn't yet install on this laptop,  due to a second broken laptop (I'm disabled and work from my bed).  I get "individual posts" from the list so I will check.  I often read the posts and file them for future reference (especailly in case I ever learn HTML!) I has a PAF file from familysearch.org/ free download, but didn't know how to upload the contents, if I could.  What a mess and loss.  I had also lost hours of work last time I used my freepage using the WYSIWYG editor. I don't know what I did wrong.  I wasn't trying to load the PAF file; I was just typing new data in and published the data, but it failed. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lowery/ I have tons of new data to add, but I just can't seem to be able to do so with the WYSIWYG Editor.  I haven't even tried in almost a year.  Maybe something changed that I'd missed?  Kathie Buchanan  (I use Norton 360 as well; scans regularly and updates automatically on "idle", and I perform full scans of my system if things seem sluggish, etc.)  People should change their passwords frequently (once a month is the usual) for their email accounts.  Yahoo is the worst, it seems.) --- On Tue, 6/12/12, List Admin FPH <rootsweb@att.net> wrote: From: List Admin FPH <rootsweb@att.net> Subject: [FreeHelp] Spam/malware posts to the list To: "Freepages-Help" <Freepages-Help@rootsweb.com> Cc: wetwohim@live.co.uk Date: Tuesday, June 12, 2012, 5:41 PM Two days ago, a spam post was made to this list using the email account of a subscriber.  That subscriber's email account had been hacked through a malware install on their computer, and they have been unsubscribed until they clean up their computer and account(s).  Some of you have written to me saying you received a virus alert when you clicked on the link on that email. While 99.99% of posts to a RootsWeb mailing list are legitimate, you can recognize the warning signs of hack such as this one, e.g. Subject: (no subject) Body: No question, nor answer to a previous query which would relate the post to the list -- only a link to a site that does not appear to be genealogy related. IOW, the malware found an address in the infected computer's address book, and sent to everyone in that address book.  Unfortunately, neither the list subscriber, nor myself as List Admin, can be aware of these hacks until an inappropriate post is made to  the list. Please, let this latest occurrence serve as a reminder that EVERYONE should install an Anti-Virus program on their computer(s), and keep it updated on a regular basis.  The best AV programs won't help much unless you download the updates that recognize the latest virus and security vulnerabilities.  My own AV program, Norton 360, sometimes updates several times a day.

If you don't care how fancy the site is, PAF will create a site from your database for you. This is the address of a small site done with PAF: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~okcslsa/genealogy/horsley/index.htm It isn't fancy but it could make a good starter for you. The HTML is very simple and the pages are easy to edit if you find you need to add or change information. On 06/13/2012 03:14 AM, Kabe wrote: > TY for the heads up, Pat.
