Tina,
RootsWeb and Ancestry hyperlinked logos opening new
windows: Our other masthead implementations do not trigger new windows, and
I'm not sure users would necessarily expect that (as it does not look like a
separate 3rd party advertisement where a new window would usually be used).
If this is a point of concern, though, we should be able to set up the
hyperlinked logos in the USGenWeb specific header to open new windows.
Manually adding the code to individual pages: We are working to come up
with an easier solution for users with multiple pages. This is one of the
main reasons we've decided to delay the masthead inclusion, because we
really want to offer something user friendly around this. As we know more
I'll make sure to update you.
Masthead colors: We are sensitive to our branding as we have been working
very hard across the company to develop positive, consistent branding. That
being said, our creative design group is working on the masthead to see if
we can meet the branding goals of both sides. I will follow-up on this as
we have something.
Thanks,
David Graham
