I still use the same one on the bottom of each page that I've used for years. I
guess I
must of gotten it from the USGenWeb Archives:

Ancestry.com Issue
I wonder if it wouldn't be better at the top of each page. If
someone
is looking for particular
information on a site they might not get to the bottom of the page but
they would see it at the
top. Just create an incHeader.htm like the incFooter.htm and include it
right after <BODY>.
The page will load at the top and they can't miss it.
