    1. Re: [TXGEN] Posting obits
    2. Sue Tackel
    3. Yes, me too. I use old Front Page and I've got lots of obits in different forms. You can put them all in an 'image' folder and do an index that links to different files like page http://www.wisecountytexas.info/obituaries/a-b.htm You can link to pictures, PDF's, documents or to other htm pages you already have up. When I do pages I first try to get every thing together in an Excel file (Last Name, First Name and then the name of the file you want to link to in another column) If you keep this file you can sort in into alphabetical order when you add to it. One of the easiest ways is to make a column in Excel that links to the name of the image or file. Then you just paste that table into your Front Page page. That's how this page was done: http://www.jackcountytexas.info/Misc/1960-2013.htm This page had 3 columns (Name-Type of page-name of .jpg) and was put into text from Excel: http://www.jackcountytexas.info/Misc/jacksboroindex_a-b.htm To work with Front Page if you paste in text, then you have to go into the html tab at the bottom of the page and add <a href=" in front of the line and "> after the line. Then that line becomes a link like in these wedding announcements: http://www.wisecountytexas.info/misc%20genealogy/a-g.htm You have to play around with it at first. If you put little special marks as the first and last columns of your Excel file, and physically link the fist couple of files in Front Page, you can go into your html view and just 'replace' all of your special marks with the html language that that you need to make the links. Hope this works for you. Let me know if you need help.

I have collected many obits, some are typed in Microsoft word and some are scanned original or clipped from newspapers. I use FrontPage and still use the Rootsweb server. I want to know if I need to create a page for each obit or if there is a way to link to an individual obit in other ways. Any ideas appreciated would like the easiest, fastest way to get them online since there are so many of them. I have considered linking to the person's name in the cemetery listing and/or creating a separate tab for obits. I don't know code but am willing to learn simple methods.
