Hi Hank Thanks, I had done a little with HTML/website with my class, but still a bit confused and I would like to try if you dont mind. What I want to try doing is post a basic website/showing one of my family trees and put it out there where I may get some people seeing it and inquiring to me about it in case they have connections. I would not post any living relatives in it. I want to play with creating a look for the pages etc.... and a link for them to email me , later put some kind of surname listing with maybe a search function, etc.. that kind of thing..later like your site, add other things of interest to me. I used frontage a little and one other program when making the website for my class online project, that was last year, have not messed with websties since. christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hank" <hank@xxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 22, 2004 8:30 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: website > Christy In my way of thinking, I could be wrong, Don't use a program to make > a web page, I have never used one so can't tell you how.
