I'm looking over your Site Map here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ildewitt/site-map.html I noticed on the first top entry you use unordered list: <...ul> <...li> <a title="Home - DeWitt GenWeb Project." href="link">Home</a></li> But on the Places, Communities etc. you have ol after the top heading. <...li><...span class="heading">Places & Geography</span><...ol> Can you tell me reasons you used ol for those? Still floundering over my site map. I have all the titles...if I can just figure out the nesting. Somebody by now should have made an online tool to make a 3-tier nested map. Once I get the mark-up correct, would this work on a freepages site? http://www.gnostice.com/nl_article.asp?id=208&t=making_an_interactive_treeview_control_from_an_html_nested_list Judy
Why do it the hard way? I was always told to work smarter, not harder. <quote> Build your Site Map online (XML, ROR, Text, HTML) This website is to let you: Create an XML sitemap that can be submitted to Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines to help them crawl your website better. Create a Text sitemap to have a plain list of all your pages. Create a ROR sitemap, which is an independant XML format for any search engine. Generate an HTML site map to allow human visitors to easily navigate on your site. https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ <unquote> Free up to 500 pages OR Google "sitemap generator" and pick from the dozens shown. Google itself no longer has a sitemap generator service. Freefind web site search engine will create one for your site.

Billy asked: Why do it the hard way? ------------------------------------- 1. Machines aren't humans. They don't say, "Dummy, you have an error here." 2. Doing it myself lets me correct my errors. See #1. Example: Family Reunuion or Reuniom isn't something a site map generator points out. Nor does it complain when a title is not descriptive, like "Index Page" on a subfolder when it should be "Index to WWII Soldiers xxx County, State". 3. Generators have never read a Table of Contents in a Book they've held and thumbed through. If Chapter 8 appears before Chapter 4, generators don't bat a byte. Humans like things to make sense. 4. To learn to do, you must do to learn. I need to learn how to do nested lists. 5. For those who learn by doing but learn less from reading (only), the only way is to do, screw up, and redo it. See #4. 6. Because for every error I make that affects the page layout, I learn another tidbit about webpages. 7. I can still submit an .xml later to satisfy Google. But by then, I'll have fixed my errors. See 1, 2, 3, and maybe 4. Judy
Probably cause someone else edited the list and made changes since this page has not been converted to the new layout. Need to work on it. They should all be unordered lists not ordered. Happens when more than one person is working on the site. pat -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JFlorian via Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2015 3:53 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: [FreeHelp] Pat G. question I'm looking over your Site Map here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ildewitt/site-map.html I noticed on the first top entry you use unordered list: <...ul> <...li> <a title="Home - DeWitt GenWeb Project." href="link">Home</a></li> But on the Places, Communities etc. you have ol after the top heading. <...li><...span class="heading">Places & Geography</span><...ol> Can you tell me reasons you used ol for those?

Here's one of my first confusions about levels in lists. This validates. Without the one li that I'm questioning, it gives an error. <..ul> <..li> <...a href="some link"><b>First Level 'Parent' Title</b></a></li> <..li> -------------------THIS ONE, WHY does it need 2 OPEN LI TAGS before Child 1 (when li opens Child 1 anyway)? Why open the li before the 2nd ul is even open,? Why doesn't the very first instance on a First Level Title match so it would also start with li then ul, like it does below? I keep omitting this open li -- I don't understand the pattern. And where does this li close <...ul> <...li> <...a href="some link">Child 1</a></li> <...li> <...a href="some link">Child 2</a></li> <...li> <...a href="some link">A different Child but still 'in the family'</a></li> </ul> </ul> Seems I should only need li on Child, not two lines up from the first child. Why does it require opening a list before opening the UL there? e.g. why isn't it always just ul li between all sub-lists?: <..ul> <..li> Judy
Judy, The following I did some time ago and it relates to an ordered list, but the principles are exactly the same:- http://countjustonce.com/test/lists-again.html ... the markup is shown beneath the rendered list. I also note that your freepages genealogy site contains the following "linked" files:- text/html 2023 URLs text/css 2 URLs image/jpeg 4507 URLs image/gif 30 URLs appl'n/pdf 3 URLs image/bmp 2 URLs image/png 5 URLs Total 6572 URLs 100.00% 210.195536/1.024 = 205.269 MB All pages, by result type: 6572 URLs 95.01% External 345 URLs 4.99% Total 6917 URLs 100.00% Barry ------------- On Wed, 12 Aug 2015 09:41:58 +1200, JFlorian via <[email protected]> wrote: > Here's one of my first confusions about levels in lists.
