    3. Ok, so maybe I have a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway. Is there a way to change the program that you create the page with? I have a page in another state and I can't fugue the thing out. I want to be able to do it thru rootsweb. Any help you can give me I will appreciate. I haven't been able to update the site since I took it over. Thanks, Sara On Jun 7, 2014 10:11 PM, "Karen De Groote" <[email protected]> wrote: > Wow that must be a new policy. So happy to see that.
