Create A Free Website

[arthurk]

I hadn't used frames on this site but I found that using Div's with absolute (and presumably relative) positioning created havoc with the adverts appearing in odd places. To overcome this problem I have reverted to using tables while studying other possibilities.

I use tables too. I suppose you might manage to use a div with absolute positioning if you allow space for the adverts above - but if they changed the size you might have problems.

I have corrected the \ / error, mia culpa

Working fine now 

If you wish to experiment on your pc before uploading to Rootsweb then you will need to install Xampp on your computer:

Eek! This is getting a bit complicated for me to think about at present.

I use HTML-Kit  -  http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ to edit my pages and this programme has a button to preview in the browser.

I've used a few programs - my meta tags mostly refer to something produced by Namo that I got on a magazine cover disc, but I haven't used that for a few years now. I've done quite a bit with KompoZer (a free WYSIWYG program with a direct html editing option), but I've recently been looking at Alleycode (also free) - this is a code editor with an optional preview pane that you can see at the same time.

Hi guys,
      The thing is I got a reply to this question on 'yahoo answers'  and someone suggested that it wouldn't be a good idea to create a family website because of identity fraud with regards to mother's maiden name. I love to know your thoughts on this.
                                                    Cheers Dai.

I worry about this a bit too.  The GRO indexes have it - but they don't then link to your full name/.married name, where in the country you live and your email address. With that info it is easy to do a search on that email address and perhaps find other places you have used it with more info on you.. I have a tribal pages site but it is password protected so no one can see it (i think!). Don't think I would put my whole tree with mother's family on an open site.

Of course - the problem is with the banks for using such a silly secret question

Might be worth using a false mother's maiden name as a security question - that would fox the ID theives
