Hi Mike,
Yes that would work and writing the home page would be quite straight
forward. I do occasionally use the home button in that way when I am doing
trials of webpages and link it to my main site home page.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy & Web Site Structure
Hi,
I've been reading Cyndi Howells' "Planting Your Family Tree Online." One
suggestion she has for web site structure is to have different sections
for different surnames, where you think of the sections as chapters. So I
might start with my grandparents, for example, and have sections for
Carroll, Stone, Fogarty, & Patterson.
One reason she gives for doing it this way is that when the audience is
relatives, say cousins of mine, they will mainly be interested in the
part(s) of the web site that mention their ancestors.
I can do this in Legacy, I guess, by using the Ancestor web page style,
and making 4 separate web page projects, one for each grandparent. Then I
would use some HTML editor (not Legacy) to make the home page or main
index page, which would provide links to the separate projects.
It looks like I could use the Home Button option on the Links tab of the
web page dialog to tell Legacy to link each page back to the home page
that I created outside Legacy.
I was wondering if anybody else has tried something like this (and maybe
run into problems I haven't thought of), or has any other thoughts on
Legacy & web site structure.
Thanks.
