Folks, Rather then spend all day pulling files, just take this code and call it your index file and exchange it for your county Index file which will show as a black page with the statement showing no links etc <html><head><body bgcolor="#000000"> <font size="6"color="#ffffff">Rootsweb.com which hosts the US Genweb Project say that they need to put masthead banners on all the USGenWeb Sites and we the Volunteers of WAGenWeb Project, are againist unwanted banners from Rootsweb.Com </body></font></head></html> Steve & Kathy & DA Sophie-doggie http://www.angelfire.com/alt2/vfw5549/ Pro Tempore Quartermaster

Sure hope Darilee doesnt give out IOU's again Oh wait thats the other site ROTFLMAO. Some small matter of thought is that actually since we had a merge sometime back our sites no longer are just US GenWeb, oh we hold elections and still take pot shots at each other now and then but the concept of USGenWeb is still WAGenWeb, which would leave me to think Rootsweb by merge owns WAGenWeb Projects name Even if we linked. Comments anyone...if its cool Darilee will have to cut off Martin's beer supply to run a new domain) Steve

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [STATE-COORD] Rootsweb Announcement. Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:23:54 -0400 From: Tina S. Vickery <tsvickery@gmail.com> Reply-To: state-coord@rootsweb.com To: <state-coord@rootsweb.com>, <usgenweb-all@rootsweb.com>, <usgenweb-discuss@rootsweb.com>, <board@rootsweb.com> Please forward to all Project lists. Tina Vickery National Coordinator USGenWeb Project ____ RootsWeb Announcement As you know, The Generations Network has hosted and funded the RootsWeb online community since June 2000, thereby maintaining RootsWeb as the world's oldest and largest free genealogy website. TGN remains committed to this mission and believes that RootsWeb is an absolutely invaluable and complementary resource to Ancestry.com, our flagship commercial family history site. We believe in both services and want to see both communities prosper and grow. As part of this goal, we have decided to "transplant" RootsWeb onto the Ancestry.com domain beginning next week. This move will not change the RootsWeb experience or alter the ease of navigation to or within RootsWeb. RootsWeb will remain a free online experience. What will be different is that the Web address for all RootsWeb pages will change from www.rootsweb.com to www.rootsweb.ancestry.com. Again, the RootsWeb experience is not changing. The decision to host RootsWeb on Ancestry.com is being made for one primary reason: we believe that the users of each of our two main websites can be better served if they have access to the best services available on both. Simply stated, we want to introduce more Ancestry.com users to RootsWeb and vice versa. Today, despite the fact that Ancestry.com and RootsWeb.com are the two most frequently visited family history sites on the Web, only 25 percent of visitors to Ancestry.com visited RootsWeb in January 2008, while only 20 percent of visitors to RootsWeb visited Ancestry.com (according to Comscore Media Metrix). We think we will serve our users best by doing a better job of letting them know what is available on both Ancestry.com and RootsWeb. Hosting RootsWeb on Ancestry.com is the first step towards making this happen, but we will absolutely look for more and better ways down the road to advance this goal. Hosting RootsWeb on Ancestry.com will also make it easier for us to make changes and improvements to the RootsWeb experience in the future. All old RootsWeb URLs will continue to work, whether they are bookmarks or favorites, links to or from a hosted page or URLs manually typed in your Internet browser. We will have a redirect in place so that all old URLs will automatically end up on the appropriate new RootsWeb URL. You will never need to update your old favorites or links unless you want to. We have worked to make the transition as seamless as possible for our users, and this change should have a minimal impact on your experience with the site. RootsWeb will remain a free online experience dedicated to providing you with a place where our community can find their roots together. If you have questions regarding this change please email them to feedback@rootsweb.com.

Thank you all for your continued comments and questions, and to RootsWeb/TGN for their willingness to work with us and address them for you. Tina Vickery National Coordinator USGenWeb Project --- Tina, RootsWeb and Ancestry hyperlinked logos opening new windows: Our other masthead implementations do not trigger new windows, and I'm not sure users would necessarily expect that (as it does not look like a separate 3rd party advertisement where a new window would usually be used). If this is a point of concern, though, we should be able to set up the hyperlinked logos in the USGenWeb specific header to open new windows. Manually adding the code to individual pages: We are working to come up with an easier solution for users with multiple pages. This is one of the main reasons we've decided to delay the masthead inclusion, because we really want to offer something user friendly around this. As we know more I'll make sure to update you. Masthead colors: We are sensitive to our branding as we have been working very hard across the company to develop positive, consistent branding. That being said, our creative design group is working on the masthead to see if we can meet the branding goals of both sides. I will follow-up on this as we have something.

Vickery <tsvickery@gmail.com> Reply-To: state-coord@rootsweb.com To: <state-coord@rootsweb.com>, <usgenweb-all@rootsweb.com>, <usgenweb-discuss@rootsweb.com>, <board@rootsweb.com> Please forward to all USGenWeb Project lists with the permission of David Graham, Sr. Product Manager RootsWeb.com. Tina Vickery National Coordinator USGenWeb Project --- Dear Tina, As I mentioned previously, we are delaying the inclusion of the mastheads from the March 15th date we initially targeted. The goal is to make sure that there is appropriate time to clearly communicate with everyone and answer questions, as well as hopefully creating a solution to allow web masters to change their masthead preference on multiple pages without having to edit each one. To do this the best way possible, we are now targeting mid-April to update mastheads. As that gets closer we will follow up with a more specific date. Please let us know what we can do during this timeframe to make sure that the masthead inclusion is as positive as possible. Thanks, David Graham Sr. Product Manager RootsWeb.com Part of The Generations Network
