Creating PDF Files
16. January 2008 by Laverne.
FLGenWeb is posting the majority of its archival material in *.pdf format. There are several reasons for that but aesthetics is a major part of it. I, like many others thought you had to acquire expensive programs to facilitate the conversion of any document to the *pdf format. NOT SO! There is a company called Software995 that distributes document programs for FREE, or you can download the whole suite of programs and purchase aToolset Key Code that removes the ad from the output for 29.95. This includes all of their programs BUT OpenOffice995 and ClipPad995, the Key Code for those two programs is the same as an individual Key for any of their programs $9.95.
I have been using the PDFSuite995 for five years now. Just a cautionary note here. If you plan to purchase the whole collection, DOWNLOAD all the programs together, then purchase your Key. Don’ t buy the Key first.

Site Search Engines
24. November 2007 by Laverne.
It is relatively easy to include a site wide search feature for your FLGENWEB County site. While I personally have never installed one, several FLGENWEB County Coordinators have recommended ones that they use. The advantages are that a viewer can quickly determine if your site has information pertinent for their puproses. Some will even create a site map of your site as well.
All links will open in a new window.
Those are:

Counters
24. November 2007 by Laverne.
Today will be our first HTML entry and the subject is counters.
Counters serve a wonderful purpose, they let you and anyone who visits your site know how many times your page has been viewed. There are as many types of counters, there are free ones, and there are some you pay for. I have never paid for a counter because there are just so many good free ones available. Today we give you a list of websites that offer free counters.
Some free counters also include web statistics that can give you information about the peope who come to your site, how long they stayed on your site, how many pages they visited and where they went to from your site. It all depends on what you the County Coordinator is looking for in counter functions.
I have created a web page of counter links with sample counters for you to choose from. To do this I had to create a counter from each site so I have considered ease of application form in placing these counters. All listed here were quite easy to create and have a very simple cut and paste code. Remember to place the counter code in the body of your page at the point you want it to appear. Make a note of the website url, counter url, user name and password for future reference by creating a text page and saving it to the file on your computer where you have your back up copy of your website.

Why Volunteer to be a County Coordinator?
17. November 2007 by Laverne.
So you are thinking about becoming a County Coordinator and you ask yourself why should I? Well, there are many reasons to decide to become a volunteer with the FLGENWEB as either a county coordinator or a project manager or worker. Some reasons for doing so woud be, a desire to maintain genealogy and historical information in a non fee driven enviroment (FREE), a love of the county or area you are volunteering for, you have some time on your hands and feel a need to fill it by doing something to assist people in their research. All are valid reasons and I would bet there are many many more that I have never thought of.
Many of our county coordinators are doing double triple or even quadruple duty by managing multiple county sites as well as heading up special projects. Why are they doing this you may ask, two reasons; 1. a lack of volunteers making it necessary for “doubling up’ so that each county and project has a caretaker and 2. a sincere desire to make sure as much genealogy and historical material as possible remains online for free. So many genealogy sites that were previously “free’ have been bought up by larger avoracious profit driven corporations that the days of free access genealogy is quickly falling by the wayside, much like Florida Crackers are disappearing in Florida!
So please if you have a love of genealogy, history or just like to design and build websites, please consider volunteering with FLGenWeb or any other state you reside in. All we require is a dsire to maintain data in a free atmosphere and a smattering of html. If you dont live in Florida consider volunteering where you live. I know they would appreciate it!

Welcome to the FLGENWEB CC Help Center
15. November 2007 by Laverne.
We are going to try somethig new here. We hope to create a place to go for all your needs in maintaining your County or Project Site. Soon we will have tips and tricks, cut and paste codes to insert into your html, graphics, templates, programs, generators, validators, etc to assist you in creating new and exciting features for your site and just a place to go when you need help with your site.
For this to work properly it will have to be a group effort. Therefore we request you volunteer your various expertise to assist new and established County Coordinators via this blog. We all have something we are good at, maybe you found a neat program that will help others. So please volunteer to be a moderator or section manager.
We at FLGENWEB envision this help center as a sort of genealogy meets html mecca.
So come on in and join the fun!!!
Your FLGenWeb Staff
