I am an experienced genealogy researcher, know my way around the Internet and the computer pretty well...BUT...I have HTML anxiety. Several years ago, I started working on a webpage through Rootsweb freepages, but dropped the project till now. When I recently tried to create another one, I was told I already had one and was sent the user name and password to access it. However, I have no idea where to go on Rootsweb to try to open it up and resume work on it. Or what to do once I get there. I am really just looking for the most basic of webpages, no bells, whistles, music, animated graphics, or any of that stuff. I just want a simple page with the surnames I am researching, a little brief info on each one. And a link to my gedcom file I created with Family Tree Maker. I want the webpage to come up on Google or other search engines, if someone does a search on one of my surnames. Really, I am just looking to make some genealogy connections here to further my research, not bedazzle anyone with an eyecatching website. :) I welcome any suggestions, and thank you in advance for your help!

There are three templates included in the package - A DWT package which requires FP2003, Sharpoint Designer 2007 or any version of Expression Web. A blank template that can be used with any web editor. A blank template that uses server side includes. All templates and supporting files are in a zipped package that can be downloaded from my Expression Web Tutorials site. If you have comments or questions, let me know. Enjoy!!
