Proposal for a central list of rootschatters FH websites

[Lesanne]

Thanks Kerry,
Yours looks very good. Tell me please... Does one create the pages first?... Is there a suggested programme for this?

     Lesanne... hoping for a winters project...

If you look at this link and go to No 4c it gives you a list of programmes that you can use to produce webpages.  Personally I am in the group that uses Net Object Fusion, costs a bit but is a good package and lots of help from other rootschatters

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,70811.0.html

I don't know which family tree software you use but some of them have a facility to produce webpages.  4a.

You also need a webspace, again these range from free to a bit of a cost, I plumped for 1&1 as did Gadget.  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,291125.0.html

There is a small monthly fee with 1&1 but they have a good reputation and it was easy to use. 

But there again if you have no experience of websites a site like Tribal pages is a good starting point and its free and you don't need a programme to design your pages it does it all for you.

  Well, there's a bit of luck. I've got Front page already....  Thanks Kerry.

Oh excellent!

I used that in one of my previous jobs when I first got into websites and it was a great package to use.

I shall have a read of the tutorial.  Never having used or done anything like this before..... and have a play....

You'll end up getting hooked.  My website is an ongoing project for wet winter days and I think it will take me years to complete.

Start with a small idea though and let it grow from there, they seem to evolve as time goes by.

I did a course in website design with the Open University a couple of years back and the one thing that I learnt which is really good advice is to draw on paper exactly what you want each page to look like before you even start designing it.  I have found that to be very good advice.
