Hi Patrice, A really nice job!! The text of the census article looks left aligned to me but your name is off-center (it is NOT right-aligned) as I found out when I downloaded the page. I use Adobe GoLive and it appears that the small 1 row X 3 col table (with limks to the top, etc.) that looks like it is at the bottom of the census article is, in fact, embedded near the top of the 1 x 1 census article table. When I put a line break *under* the article and moved the 1x3 table after the <b> then everything straightened up - your name was centered as you intended. Again, that's a really nice site.

Hi, I could use some help. I am working on this page: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~greenhow/bgsnews/Vol15-1.html No matter what I do, I can't make the text in the article on the 1930 Census align left. I put it in a box to limit it's width, but it just isn't working. Could some of you take a look at the source and tell me what I am doing wrong. I've been at it so long, that I just can't find the error. Thanks in advance, for your help. I'm going to sleep -- hopefully to wake with the problem found;-) Rel@ively, Patrice

Looks aligned left to me! It does look like you have "by Betty Eichhorn" aligned RIGHT, when it should probably be centered.

I think it's worth the trouble to write to them, especially if you would like reciprocal links, however. Libraries and Societies would seem to be automatic, while private sites might not be able to handle heavy traffic -- they may have to pay for bandwidth, for instance. In any case, I always want to get reciprocal links if possible, so I always try to write. I don't ask permission, just tell them that I'm linking, and would appreciate a reciprocal link. If they insisted, I suppose I would remove the link, but it has never come up. Valorie

Hello, again! I am working on the GenWeb page for Lake County, Ohio and I would like to put links to libraries, societies, photographs and things of interest that I find on the web. What is the protocol/etiquette for getting permission to link? It is a hang-up in some cases where people do not answer. Some web sites have no contact e-mail. Is it felt that if people put up a web page they would appreciate the extra hits by links to them, and just do it? Or is permission still considered necessary? Thanks again, Cynthia in Lake County, OH www.rootsweb.com/~ohlake/ www.rootsweb.com/~ohlcgs/

Just so no one wastes time on my problem. I removed the additional field as I noticed no error when I used the other fields. Now it works so I will live without the new field for now. Thanks, Christina County Longford Ireland

I need some help! I had this working last night. Made a little addition this a.m. and now it is not working. I am getting an Internal Error msg. I am only messing it up no doubt. Have no idea what could have changed. The url is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~irllog/longsubm.htm The file is http://www.rootsweb.com/~irllog/lonmar.tmp Thanks, Christina

Hi, I hope this is the proper place to get help. Yesterday I uploaded a new file to replace the former one at the first location listed below and I checked the block that said to delete the dates of living persons and when I viewed it, it wasn't done. Please tell me what I did wrong, so I can correct it, as several people have asked me to do this. Thank you and aloha from paradise, Gordon.....

Rootsweb doesn't support front page extensions. You have to do forms manually or host them on a front page server and link to Rootsweb.

I have just become webmaster of the Terrell County Texas site. I have maintained a site for 3 years on geocities/yahoo using a file manager. How do you access the File Manager for rootsweb? thanks, Jack Martin >>>users.rootsweb.com is an FTP address -- the one you use to upload your files if you use an FTP utility other than File Manager.

Cynthia - Why not use something like Atomz? You embed a very short piece of html code on your home page and voila! It's very easy to use and free. http://www.atomz.com. There are others out there as well - I think one is called Freefind?

Luc, Thanks for taking the time to review Joust. I was concerned about the lack of support AND the JavaScript. I do consider myself an advanced beginner, with the emphasis on the latter. I think Joust may be a good idea with bad timing. I think I'll download it for possible use later when the browsers and I catch up (if that ever happens). I looked out your site: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lucmatt/index.html. This looks like the template you mention (sorry, I couldn't wait:-). I couldn't find your German site quickly, so I'll just ask you for the URL. I liked the site -- the outline site map really is what Joust provides, just with "cute little graphics" and opening folders. I think I'll follow your lead and try to keep it simple. Thanks again.
