Wow, I wrote my previous message before reading all that has been written tonight. I so
take exception as to how Sheila portrays how things happened. I have tried to
avoid putting it here. I cannot believe this. How did something so good turn in to
something so ugly.
We took the site down on Sunday, because that was the day I learned that my site was no
longer worthy to be a part of the INGenWeb. INGenWeb did not say a word to me. I soon
learned I had been replaced a month earlier, and with no notification. Accused of broken
links (show me a site that doesn't have them), the search engine not working (that was
RootsWeb's search engine which I had no control of). I was in the process of moving it
over to MyIndianaHome site so our search engine would take care of it. They said I had
taken my site down. So, not true. I had told the state coordinator we had gotten a new
computer and was transferring files, and also Brad was working on a content management
system to better organize the site, and make it have interaction capabilities. So, it may
have been intermittently offline during the weekend. I received no message from the state
coordinator except one during the summer that was cold, and nasty. Nothing
since, except the IM message when I told her the above re: working on the web site. And,
I was working on bios for the Grant County INGenWeb site too. I could say more here, but
please understand how upsetting this is to me. I thought I was doing a good thing......
my heart is so heavy, I have to stop. I did not want to do this here. I had no intention
of leaving the site down. What would you do? I had no idea what was going on. They did not
notify me, and have not written one word to me.
Hi Ruth, hope everything gets straightened out. My Indiana Home is one of
my favorite sites and have visited it for a long time and would hate to lose
it. Roslyn
