Yes, use the Rootsweb WorldConnect project to upload your GEDCOM database. It does all the formatting for you and use your webspace for adding narratives, photos and whatever. Example: WorldConnect Database I just upload a new database when I make changes to the one on my computer. It then links to the narrative site listed below. If I chose to do so, I could allow the database to be downloaded by others. I do not. Geary/Gary Family Genealogy As people send me more information, i update the narrative site or the database. There are four separate databases online which link to the respective parts of the one site.

The challenge I am having with finding the right genealogy website software is I want the content to be generated from my GEDCOM file and/or Legacy Family Tree 7.0 file — and to be able to update my website when I update my database.

I’m up to 1700 names in my GEDCOM file with lots of pictures and documents.

But every week I’m adding more information.

The point of the website is to share it with some distant relatives so that they’ll provide more information to help add to my database.

However, once I create the website, I want to be able to easily update it when I put new information into my off-line database.

Any advice?

Personally, I find the Rootweb on-line editor very difficult to use which is one reason the tutorial does not continue. As far as I know, there has not been a Part 2 done by the Rootsweb staff. There are plenty of free web editing programs you can download and try out that are much easier to work with than the RW on-line one. Check Genealogy Web Creations on the right-hand sidebar for some of them.

This is my first effort to build a site to include two cemeteries. As a total amateur, this project is completely foreign. I wish your tutorial had continued thru the entire process. But thanks for your help to this point.

>for Windows based web developers there is no easy solution to test multiple versions of Safari

This is no longer true, take a look at BrowserSeal.BrowserPack http://www.browserseal.com/?option=com_content&view=article&id=35

Thought this might interest you. http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage. Test websites in multiple versions of IE going back to 5.5. I found it very useful.

Like your blog, I was looking for the portable versions of FireFox for testing purposes.

And like you said, Safari is difficult to to test on older versions. I’ve had to revert to having multiple Windows virtual machines with different operating systems and browsers.

Although it is time-consuming, it works for me.
