However, you said "So, if everything is in the SAME subdirectory, tell me the call." If both the images and the html page from which they are called are in the same directory, you should not indicate an "images" directory at all. If the images are in a subdirectory of the directory containing the html page, they are called using the syntax: img src="images/filename.jpg" If the images are located in a directory that is higher up in ;your directory heirarchy than the page from which they are called, then the syntax is img src="../images/filename.jpg" Use dot-dot-slash as many times as necessary to find the path to the file. Pat Asher

Your problem is the"..images" should be "..\images". Your second problem (which will get you when you upload to a server) is all the "\"s should all be"/" for html pages. the "\"s will work on local windows but no where else. Windows is perfectly happy with using "/"s as directory separators in html pages.

direct links to familysearch.org are allowed. I have several sites on Rootsweb with direct links to familysearch.org They have not been blocked for some time.

If you mean linking directly to a Result, Rootsweb//Ancestry blocked that. All Ancestry linked materials go to their Resources or Security Page because they want subscribers to access directly. I'd just say go here for info. J

Can I link to FamilySearch.org from one of my genealogy society's pages that is hosted at RootsWeb? Our society has published a 2-volume set of Cemetery records that has been microfilmed by FS. I would like to link to the Catalog information entry of that film at FamilySearch. Is this allowed? I had a confusing email conversation with someone at RootsWeb/Ancestry Support. Here is their answer, "Affiliate links may not be included on your site.  You may only link to official MyFamily/Ancestry affiliates only." When I review the "RootsWeb agreement for Genealogical/Historical Societies"  item 5: Affiliate links (those commercial links that pay you for the folks that click on them) may not be included on your site. You may only link to official MyFamily/Ancestry affiliates only with written permission from theTGN affiliate program.    AFAIK, FamilySearch doesn't pay for click-thru links. I've checked a few other Genealogy Society pages that are hosted on RootsWeb and some do have external links to other websites not affiliated with Ancestry.com, such as libraries, state archives, etc. Do any users here know for sure? Granted, I don't like the answer I got from RW Support, but I'm not sure he really ever understood that FamilySearch is not a commercial link. I hate to go-around with him again...

Marilyn, I'm not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try, rather than trying to change all of your internal links all at once. Freefind follows links found on your pages to index your site, starting from the page you specify as your "home" page. rootsweb.com automatically redirects to rootsweb.ancestry.com Login to your Freefind Control Center. Click the Admin tab. If necessary, change the URL to www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~walcolgs/index.htm Switch to the Build Index tab and ask Freefind to index your site. If the indexing is still incomplete, on the Build Index tab, click the "Set Starting Points" link. Add www.rootsweb.com/~walcolgs/index.htm Index your site again and see if that solves the problem. Long term, you will want to switch to relative instead of absolute links. In other words, if you are linking to another page in your site, there is no need to call http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~walcolgs/cowlitz.htm The relative link is simply a href="cowlitz.htm" and that refers back to your hosting domain, regardless of what it is.

Thank you both for your answers. Jim, I will begin changing all those bad links (and test the first one out before proceeding with the bulk of them). Pat, I did a bunch of research on FreeFind yesterday and saw that one can request additional starting points, so maybe that's what I need to do for the non-" .ancestry. " URL for the time being, as you suggest. I just checked the Admin page and the current URL is correct there. FF is already starting at my home page which is the one with " .ancestry. " in it. So, I added another URL, complete with http:// and the indexer immediately started up re-indexing my site. I'll let you know how it works out... I found some of Patricia Geary's great stuff this morning about creating RootsWeb pages, and read about the absolute and relative links. I need to study that a bit more. My inherited website doesn't use multiple folders at all. All the pages (I think) are in one folder. No CSS or anything like that, either. Just html pages and pdfs. I have some studying, organizing and possible redesigning to work on, I think. Ah, while typing this, the FF index finished. And Hooray! those missing pages were indexed and the search works great! Many many thanks! In fact there are a lot more pages showing up in the Site Map now. When I redesign the site sometime in the future, I will chip away at the links with the missing " .ancestry. " portion, just to clean things up. Thanks, both of you, Jim and Pat, for your prompt responses.   Marilyn Clark, Webmaster Lower Columbia Genealogical Society Longview, WA On Tuesday, June 10, 2014 1:21 PM, Pat Asher <pjroots@att.net> wrote: Marilyn, I'm not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try, rather than trying to change all of your internal links all at once.

Marilyn, Yes, you will have to change the URLs in the links to the new style with ".ancestry". All old style rootsweb links on all pages should be changed and the changed pages re- uploaded. That should solve the problem. Jim Rickenbacker On 6/10/2014 11:52 AM, Webmaster LCGS wrote: > > I'm the New Webmaster here of my Genealogical Society's > website.

I'm the New Webmaster here of my Genealogical Society's website. I have discovered that many older pages previously uploaded to Rootsweb (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~walcolgs/) are not searchable or spider-able by "FreeFind" (from our home page) and it appears it's because only URLs for pages that are in this format: "http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~walcolgs/cowlitz.htm" are searched. Older files that have the format: "rootsweb.com/~walcolgs/cem1a.htm" (shows when you hover the mouse over its calling link) are NOT searchable by FreeFind. These types of files call just fine from the link, they just are not searchable with "FreeFind". FreeFind "excludes" them when spidering, as it thinks the URL is "off site" - not part of our original home site which includes the " .ancestry. " I tried re-uploading one of these older files to see if that would help, but the link remains the same, no ".ancestry." in the URL. The previous Webmaster mentioned that some time ago you added the '.ancestry.' part to your Host name, and that perhaps she should put that in the FTP upload signin screen, but hadn't done so yet. Since other recent uploads work just fine, even with the 'old-style' host name of "users.rootsweb.com" in the FTP signin screen, it's probably moot. But I went ahead and changed the HostName to users.rootsweb.ancestry.com and re-uploaded a file and it still shows up with the old format that is not searchable: "rootsweb.com/~walcolgs/cem1a.htm"  I am using IPSWITCH FTP (I think) altho it's called by the WS_FTP95.exe program, if that helps any. I've looked at the source code for that souce page that links to the one without the " .ancestry. " and it looks like the filenames in the <a href= tags are the "old-style". I'm thinking I might have to change the URLs in those tags to include " .ancestry. " and then re-upload those pages onto the Rootsweb hosting site. If that's the fix, is there anything else I should watch out for? I don't want to fix one thing only to break another. I'm totally green about this but determined to figure this out.

For anyone interested Microsoft has a FREE download of Expression Web 4. It works much like Front Page with more features plus it writes web pages in current compliancy. Joyce Gaston Reece

Hi Kay, Your problem is not that bad, just somewhat confusing. Bear with me. First, all your minutes files are on the website in the http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mocchs/minutes/ directory. As far as I can tell there is no actual http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mocchs/minutes/minutes/ directory. However, most of the links on the index page, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mocchs/minutes/minutes-index.html have the extra "minutes/". The extra "minutes/" needs to be removed from the links. This should fix most of your problems. Second the names of two of the actual minutes files (i.e oct2013-minutes and nov2013-minutes have the type .htm while the rest have the type .html. The names in the links on the index page must match the file names. Since most of the site seems to use .html that is what you should use for consistency though FrontPage is going to continue to try to use .htm. No need to cange the file names, just fix the links for these two files. Third on the index page the link to feb2014-minutes.html points at dec2014-minutes.html which doesn't exist. If you clean up the links on the index page as described above you should be good to go.

Hello Wjhonson, I realized I had made the mistake I do know that the ~mocchs has to be a part of the URL. I'm just having so many problems that I've never had before I'm sort of bewildered as to how to make it work now. Thanks to all for the input I'm in a "stew" as Grandma would say.
