Dear USGenWeb coordinators, > > For those of you with pages hosted on
RootsWeb.com
we wanted to give> you an update on our plan for including a small masthead at the top
of> hosted pages on RootsWeb. We love being able to host your page and> other pages
that help the family history community so much, and adding> this small masthead to
acknowledge our hosting service allows us to> continue to be able to offer this free
hosting service as well as> other services.> > The mastheads will be included on
pages as early as May 21st. The> standard masthead can be viewed here:> >

As a USGenWeb coordinator you will also have the option to use a> USGenWeb specific
masthead. It can be viewed here:> >
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/rootsweb/samples_mastheads/masthead_USGe... >
> To get the USGenWeb masthead on your page instead of the standard one> all you
need to do is place a file named "banner_select" in your> public_html
directory. It should contain the text "USGENWEB" (all> caps and without the
quotation marks) and nothing else. > > Thanks for your support on this minor change.
We love hosting your> page and this allows us to continue to offer this free
hosting> service. > > On another note, we also wanted to let you know that in the
coming> months we will be releasing a new feature that will make it easier for> you
to make sure that other people can find your page on RootsWeb. It> will let you enter
some information about your page to get it included> in a new search feature built to
find pages hosted on RootsWeb. For> hosted pages related to the USGenWeb Project, we
will also create a> specialized page that will surface all of the pages that are>
associated with the project. We hope to be able to link to this> listing of hosted
USGenWeb pages from the RootsWeb homepage. As this> project comes closer to completion
we will let you know more about it.> > > Thanks, > > DAVID GRAHAM> >
Sr. Product Manager RootsWeb.com> Part of The Generations Network> >
