You CAN use favicon on rootsweb. Ann uses it on her own county pages: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mnsherbu/ The favicon feature is a browser-implemented feature. It will check the root directory of the whole website for a default, but not any others. (I think when it first came out in 1999 IE checked the current directory first before checking the root, but that generated too many useless http requests and so that was dropped.) To get it to be used for your webpages when its top-level directory is not the root for the website, you need to have a line in each of your html files: <link rel="icon" href="mngenwebfavicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> And of course you have to have the file in your top-level directory. If a page is in a sub-top-level-directory, you'll need to prepend "../" for each level to find the icon file in your top-level directory. For example, /~mnfoobar/2nd/3rd/file.html would need to have href="../../mngenwebfavicon.ico" Or, just use href="/~mnfoobar/mngenwebfavicon.ico" in all your pages and hope that you never leave rootsweb. :) (Or whatever the path would be if you are on a non-rootsweb host.)

If I remember correctly, and I may well be wrong on this, you can't use favicons on Rootsweb. I have tried putting the graphic in the public_html directory which is for all intents and purposes the "root" folder and I have tried using it in the main directory that only has the public_html folder in it and it does not work, however it does work on my webhosting svc where I keep and online back up so if for some reason I need to have site url changed to there, it is ready to go with just a url change on the MSGenweb State Page.

That is Keith's banner and it is fine. It incorporates the logo into the banner.

Okey Dokey, rework css file instead of placing data..... either that or find a whole new design and transfer the site to it...... Oh well.... Depends on how easy or hard the css file is to change, I did not design it I used another person's design and they used web expressions or dreamweaver to do it with so I may just have to scrap the existing layout and find something else!

Laverne, If you want to have a copy of Expression Web, it is now free. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36179 Martha

My question is this: can I keep the existing Penneau (sp?)banner on my page ( former official log prior to contest) since we now have permission to use it? The only reason I ask is that to utilize the new logo, I will have to totally rework the header section of the css file so one of the new images will fit. I love the ones Keith made, and had no clue it would take several hours of trial and error to pace one of them there. In the meantime I would rather spend more time getting data on the site than spend the time doing a rework to make the new logo image work! Laverne

Laverne, We voted on the new official logo and it should be used on our sites. Marc's banner has MTGenWeb formatted incorrectly and can't be used until it is re-worked.

It is my understanding that we can utilize a reworked Pennau logo as banner but we have a new official logo so that is what we must use on our index pages.

I have added a link to the new logo sets on the Logo page ( www.rootsweb.com/~mngenweb/logo.htm) and now have one of the logos Keith provided on the MNGenWeb pages. Shirley (catching up as I can. <g>)

Patrice attended a Lisa Lousie Cooke Seminar in Vero Beach yesterday. Ms Cooke referenced the USGenWeb as an excellent resource and showed a slide of the Silbey County, MN homepage as part of her presentation. Patrice tried to snap a picture of it, but Ms Cooke had moved on by the time she got her camera out. Thanks for sharing this interesting bit of information, Patrice! Shirley

Ann Hammer has created a favicon using the new logo and she has graciously offered it to all members of the MNGenWeb if they would like to use it. Here is the link: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mnsherbu/mngenwebfavicon.ico Thanks Ann! Shirley

What a cool idea! How did you accept members? I would assume you need one ancestor before X date? I would like to hear from others if they use FB and would like to have a FB presence for MNGenWeb? Additionally would anyone be interested in joining a MN pioneer group on FB? I would be happy to set one up. Perhaps a couple to administer the site in a team?
