Hiya June,

I have used PAF 5 in the past and my webpages that I am amending where created by PAF.  They are okay.  At least it's a good starting place. 

There is an option to create webpages on maybe th ereports option?  Just play about with it - you won't break anything  ;D

I bought a book on HTML and started to amend bits of code but it isn't really necerssary.

Yes Please can I have 2?  Id like to move my Wills site somewhere it will get afr better coverage and another Id like to have offering professional services because hey im a researcher lol.  I dont know about other professionals but I am sure we would ( those of us using your pages for advertising) be willing to contribute to the running of the site be it through having banners on the pages or placing your ads there with your affiliate details :)

Also for any of those 30+% there are many free tutorials available also a few What You See Is What You Get programs that allow you to build a site and not know any HTML and trust me  you will in time figure it out.  Its how I started.  Please dont ask me Im no Expert on web design.

Rob,

Yes you can have two for asking so nicely ! :)

As professional genealogists you will also benefit by being indexed by Google off the back of RootsChat too, which will increase your exposure.

Like kevan, I'd be interested in offering whatever help I can to anyone who needs in in regards to getting their site made although I must add here that all my coding is by hand in raw HTML, XHTML, CSS, CGI and ASP.

I guess we might regret this at some time  ;D

My only question would be what about ASP and CGI - would they be available for use?

I think this is an excellent idea btw!
