Re: [LegacyUG] Future of Legacy Private Website Creator

[DonnaMcR]

I have had my website (created with the Legacy software and hosted by GoDaddy) 
for many years.  I get responses, questions, and comments literally all the 
time.  Collaboration takes place by e-mail.

I get good response on Google searches, meaning I run into my own research all 
the time.   It’s hard for me to do a search on one of my ancestors without 
running into myself.  But that means the website is visible and helpful to 
other researchers, which is my goal.I also run into my research that has 
been copied and just pasted into trees on Ancestry, etc., all the time, which 
is a frustration.  (I am talking about personal narratives, not just facts or 
straight transcriptions.)  But that is another topic. 

I have the great majority of my family research uploaded to it, so it deals not 
only with main ancestral lines, but also the lines of in-laws, etc.   I like 
the Legacy setup because it allows me to show the sources of my research, with 
the documentation appearing as footnotes that are in a classic format and are 
useful to the viewer.  It allows me to give credit to others for the 
information they have provided to me, as well as providing the usual source

No Mary,
I have no information on that but I doubt things will be removed from 
Legacy that already there

Did you read Donna's post?
I was responding particularly to this bit.


Is Legacy the only genealogy software that allows you to
create your website independently and then upload it to a
regular non-genealogy related host?


by pointing out that lots of people already use TNG in preference to the 
Legacy website creation.

Re: [LegacyUG] Future of Legacy Private Website Creator

[Edward Fenn]

Donna your have touched on my thoughts as I do as you do for my website 
www.thekingscandlesticks.com 

Legacy users who generate HTML content for websites from their Legacy program 
need in my view to make ourselves heard at this time of change.

I have recently had trouble as my settings and content saved for Pedigree pages 
in Books, kept getting corrupted but that now seems OK – computers, but 
probably an operator problem !!
