Forum: Web pages design

It's me again, and this time I won't be able to answer my own question, as I am completely stymied! :confused: I have just uploaded the index page of my new site, to see what it looks like, and to look for problems, before I load the rest of the linking files. I loaded the index file plus the...

Yes it's me again. :o I'm doing quite well and on the home run for getting my new website online, but I'm a bit stuck on something. I know I'm missing something that is obvious, but can't for the life think what it is. I scanned a map that had been drawn by my brother-in-law of the village I...

I have several stories on my website, and I have been wondering about including a PDF copy which could be downloaded. I am not sure how to go about it. I have googled and the only instructions I can find refer to zip files, presumably to cut down the download time. I am also not sure if I just...

Could someone help me please? I know it's probably a simple question, and I shouldn't be doing this if I don't understand in the first place, but here goes. I am setting up a new website and sailing along quite nicely, but have got stuck with some tables. I don't often use them, but this...

Hi I have tried Tribalpages but they have limited options in which you can personalise your genealogy site. Also I got a Rootsweb freespace account and it was activated but all I can see is a drop down chart and dont know where to go from there. Does anyone know a good website building site...

I've got a few FREE Websites that I've had for quite a good while plus a couple that I pay for. Never bought or rented a Domain Name. Can someone who has bought or is renting a Domain Name please give some tips.

I have recently set up a Family Tree on Tribal Pages,but there is no way any one can look at it without asking for a password, even though I have followed the instructions for it to be made viewable for any one,most of the Trees on Tribal have highlighted names to enable a link to the tree. I have...

I'm building a second website with FP2003, which is going quite well, but for the first time I am adding pictures. I've had no problems getting them into the gallery, but (from the manual) in order to view them in full size (other than the displayed thumbnails) it tells me to click on them in...

Ggrrrr! Why is it that something I thought was going to be simple, isn't! Could someone please tell me what to scan a handwritten map as, in order to insert it into a web page please? I tried pdf, which comes out fine, but when I insert it into the page, it comes out as gobbledegook code. I...

Ok I know how to design and publish onto the Internet but am getting a little bit overwhelmed between all the different hosts etc on offer. Can anyone give me some tips for what to look for when deciding? Thankyou Browneyes

Hi I use Legacy and have a fair number of photos included. I want to create a CD for my kith and kin (the living ones that is) and am looking for a programme which will convert the info to HTML and include the photos. I have sampled many of the ged to html progs. but havent found one that will...

I am in the process of setting up a new website relating to a village that was demolished in the 1970s. It had quite a community and a lot of it's history has started to fade away as the older members pass on. Unfortunately there was not a lot of information or photos documented, which is a shame...

I would like to have a personal family tree web page just for the use of my family. It is getting more and more difficult to share information between us easily with each new snippet found!. I store my information in Family Tree Maker 2005 and am considering buying the premium package of Tribal...

Does anyone have any inside information about Tribal Pages? It is/has been a brilliant site and I've been a huge fan and advocate of it... but following a series of 'upgrades' there are currently all sorts of glitches on the site. There are also LOTS of disgruntled members asking pithy...

Is there anyone here who has a Tiscali-hosted website and who is able to access the Tiscali FTP server from a Tiscali Broadband connection?? I'm having no success in doing this, although I have cracked a similar problem for my Orange-hosted sites using an Orange dialup connection to the Orange...

Hi I have a home page and recently updated one of the stories. However my pics dont show up whereas previously they did. In Mozilla I get an error message if I q\click on the blank square where the pic should be, which says ......cant be found. Whereas in IE there is just no response. Any...

Related to the "pictures not showing up on web site" thread, I was wanting to illustrate my family history stories with pictures and photos to break up the text and make it more interesting and visual. However, thinking about it, most of the pictures I have found on other peoples web sites. The...

I dont' know if this topic has been mentioned in B-G. I am interested in your comments. For those of you who have created your F.H. Website at some host whether its a paid Site or a free Site. Is your Site a 'password protected; Site or open to the Web ? Do you believe and prefer that your...

I've just started to try out Firefox, and have immediately noticed that the website I'm working on looks different - see, for example, this page. I wrote the page while using Internet Explorer exclusively, and (as it appears in IE) I intended the labels for each individual (Husband, Born,...

Hi there, a number of members BG.com have got their their own websites, what programmes did they use to design their site, was it free and are there any tips, pitfalls that people should be aware of ? Regards John
