As a general rule we, the state coordinator and assistants, audit the
county sites periodically. It is something we are required to do by the
USGenWeb and is not for malicious intent. We are going to try something
a bit new this month. In stead of handing down edicts from on high we
thought it might be a good idea to let you all check your own sites and
let us know how you stand at the February Check In. If you have any
questions or need help with something don't hesitate to ask. If you
would rather do it off list e-mail Billie at bilwalsh(a)swbell.net.
For a complete and comprehensive listing of all the requirements you can
go to
http://usgenweb.org/volunteers/guidelines.shtml . A quick list is
below.
* Your contact information. Either on the main index page of your county
site or on a "Contacts Page".
* Up to date copyright statement. Thre's a way to automate the update of
your copyright statement. Include this line where you want your
copyright statement or server side include footer:
© Copyright <!--#config timefmt="%Y" --><!--#echo
var="DATE_LOCAL"
--> by __________ County Coordinator
Never have to worry about that one again.
* A direct link to
http://usgenweb.org [ The USGenWeb ] and
http://cogenweb.com/ [ Colorado GenWeb ]. See next requirement.
* Prominent display of the Colorado state logo and a member approved
USGenWeb logo on your main page. For a listing of the approved logos for
the USGenWeb go to
http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/logos.shtml . If
you use the logos as links they may only be linked to the two sites
above. The logos may not be resized or modified in any way.
* Must have a place for queries. I strongly suggest that you link to the
message boards on Rootsweb for this requirement. Makes you life much easier.
As you can see the requirements are not extreme.
If you wish to have the links checked on your site e-mail Billie.
Thank you.
