    1. Re: [ROOTSWEB-HELP] imposition of ancestry.com logo

In a message dated 8/21/2007 1:17:51 PM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Why has the HTML code for my homepage had two logos added to the top of the page, one saying "hosted by rootsweb" and the other "an ancestry.com community"? I never received any notice this would happen. It's done automatically when I upload a new version of the page, it comes out with these logos on it and they are not in the source code that I am uploading. I've maintained http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ since 1998 and I have always had a "Hosted by Rootsweb" graphic at the bottom of the home page. Now every one of my pages has this Ancestry.com advertising on it at the top of the page. I give a lot of thought to the design of my pages and I do NOT like them being altered without notice. What gives? -dja It was kind of announced--in the RootsWeb Review on Aug. 1st: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/review/2007/0801.txt 1a. RootsWeb Has a New Header You probably noticed that RootsWeb got a new look last week--a different header was introduced. The header is part of a re-branding effort by RootsWeb's parent company, The Generations Network, Inc. The change obviously doesn't affect anything about the identity or mission of RootsWeb. We are still "the oldest and largest free genealogy site." You can remove the Hosted by RootsWeb graphic from your page now if you would like as the header serves the same purpose.
