Congratualtions Angela and welcome. You are doing better than I was when I
started a few years back. When I volunteered I knew little more than a line
break tag and a clickable link tag. Now I can do a little more than that,
but 5 years later I am stil very much a novice. It certainly is daunting
task to manage a site long distance, how fortunate that you are so familiar
with Gadsden Co. If I can ever assist you in any way, please do not
hesitate to contact me.

Subject: [FLGEN] Gadsden County Check In - I'm a new coordinator
Hello all,
Gadsden County's GenWeb site is in transition. I have taken over from
Rhonda Smith, who, bless her heart, lives in Virginia, but has been taking
care of Gadsden County for several years. I asked her if I could take it
over, and she consented since she is the coordinator for two other GenWeb
sites.
I am a native of Gadsden County and I know the family names, the roads,
the cemeteries, and the history. I think I will love coordinating this
site. I have never created a web page before, so it was a learning
process, and Darrell Bell and Rhonda Smith have been very patient with me
while I first learned what to do, then set about doing it. The Gadsden
GenWeb site has over 100 pages in it, and it has kept me burning the
midnight oil the last two months trying to get all that data re-formatted
for my template.
I plan to upload the files on Monday. Any good tips on file submission,
please write to me personally. I have read the instructions on the
USGenWeb site for coordinators, but they really did gloss over things, and
I'm now more worried than before I read the instructions.
I know my web page is not perfect--it needs a few more navigational
buttons and an index to the cemeteries that are in row order--it's too
hard to find someone that way, but it does preserve the family
relationships. I just hate searching for the name I want through 400
other names not in alphabetical order. So I will be making that easier
for our researchers this next year.
Please check out the site in a week or so and give me some feedback. I
will appreciate any suggestions and also any good links that researchers
might find helpful.
Wish me luck on Monday!
