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
