I just wanted to share with y'all that I've updated both my Rockingham
and Sampson counties with an automated form for the entry of
obituaries. I'm self-taught when it comes to html, and never avoid a
challenge, but for some reason I've avoided using the forms and
mailmerge on rootsweb. I've played with it, but never really put them
out there on one of my sites. But now I have!! (And don't know why I
waited!!)
I realize there are some of you out there that do do this already, but
then there are some that do not, so I thought I would offer to help
anyone who wanted to take a stab at it. Right now I just have it set
up for use on inputting obituaries, because right now I feel like that
might be the most useful.
If anyone wants to give it a try, feel free to steal my code and even
ask me questions. (There are some special things that you need to
do.) Or if someone else is using this real successfully on something
other that Obituaries, let me know that as well.
Sites I've set up with the form:
