Nathan, Thanks for funishing the URL so we can actually see what the proposed masthead will look like. I think the "an ancestry.com community" on the right will make it confusing for the researchers and they might think that USGenWeb is a part of the ancestry community. Many of our researchers think we are part of RootsWeb or even "are" Rootsweb because so many of us have had rootsweb in the URL for our county sites. We have much to thank the original owners of Rootsweb for, but Rootsweb is no the Rootsweb we knew, it is now "an ancestry community" and I sure would hate for our already confused researchers to think that we "are" an ancestry community in addition to being part of Rootsweb.

As they are now it is confusing.

I've looked at the branding on the "freepages" that are hosted on Rootsweb such as the top and bottom of following URL: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kordyban/chart/relationship_chart.h tml And I think the few examples I've seen of the USGenWeb pages that were initially branded before it was removed had a strip at the top with "hosted by rootsweb" on the left and "an ancestry.com community" on the right without all the links between, and there was no bottom strip. It's the "an ancestry.com community" on the right that distresses me the most.
