Sorry, Tina, for not being clear.
I was talking about my county websites (Eau Claire, Trempealeau,
Washburn). All three are still on the Rootsweb/Ancestry server, and
since Rootweb/Ancestry has changed the URLs to reflect both names, the
Pico search engines aren't reindexing correctly. But when I go in and
change the Entry point to read
www.rootsweb.ancestry.com, the indexer
will only do the main page and none of the other pages. I was hoping
someone who was still on the Rootsweb server might have run into this
problem with their Pico search and would know how to fix it.
Thanks for your response, also Paula. It's nice to know that your
move went smoothly. I'm just not sure I'm up to making that move just
yet, as I'm still quite fuzzy-headed.
Can you or Tina clarify the steps that we need to take if we decide to
make this move? Again, things that I feel I need to know are like who
do we contact? What expense is there for us? I feel like I've missed
alot of info that I need to know before doing anything else.
Thanks,
