No RootsWeb has their FreeWebs service you upload HTML files to. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ I use both that and their World Connect site that takes GEDCOM uploads. > In time, I daresay that search engines will be able to > crawl through your PO website whether hosted by RootsMagic or some other > service, especially if you make a link to it publicly available somewhere on > the Internet.

I agree that in time Google and other search services will do a better job of searching javascript pages. It's in the mean time I worry about missing out on connections. I find for example that my html site on Free Webs comes up very high when I search for names of my ancestors. However my database on Wold Connect is much harder to find with a web search. Bruce did mention they were trying to come up with a way to fix the search options. Another thought the sites generated by TNG are also dynamic pages and I do find them coming up in web searches. So I think there would be a way to do this. :) Kim
