It builds a fairly nice site with the genealogy data. I think most current genealogy programs have some ability to create web pages from your data. However, I wanted a front-end to the site and tried iWeb first... many of the iWeb features only work if you place your site on Mac's servers (mobileme?) I then tried Rapidweaver <http://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/> for the front end and I'm pretty happy with it. Since I am still on OX X 10.4.11, I am using a slightly older release of Rapidweaver. Of course, as has been posted here by others, all you really need is a good knowledge of HTML, CSS, and a text editor. I have those, too, but not the time. I haven't done URLs in gmail before, so I hope the links come across ok. jack <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jackdolby/<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ejackdolby/> >
