I'm totally for this idea. I brag this site up to everyone I talk to about genealogy. I'd love to put my history in here and let everyone know about Rootschat.  ;)

Free Webspace on RootsChat is HERE

OK, for those who fancy uploading pages to free webspace, then RootsChat is now delighted to offer it. It's totally free of charge, free of pop-ups, and it's yours for the asking.

THIS IS "PART ONE" OF WHAT ROOTSCHAT CAN OFFER YOU FOR YOUR OWN WEBSITE.

Just send a personal message to me (trystan), with your requested password, and we will set up your webspace. (if you want a particualr address for your wespace, for example "YORKFHS" or whatever then we can do that too - first come, first served) All you will receive back is "FTP" details that you will need to upload your website. If you don't have the foggiest what I mean then don't worry - in the coming weeks we are bringing out some other goodies for you (see below).

Your website will then be:  (whatever your username is)
www.rootschat.com/~username

Your free webspace is available if you have two stars or more, and the site is related to family history, local history, or related in interest to these. Your webspace will be pop-up free, but we do reserve the right to include an advert block to your site to cover our costs. What do we ask in returm? All that we ask is that you make mention of RootsChat on your site for us.

PART TWO: In the coming weeks we are also bringng you a really easy package for you to build your own website (RootsChatEasy) using no software at all - just build it using your web-browser online. As with everything on RootsChat, it will also be free.


PART THREE:
We will also be providing a very exciting online family tree websites for RootsChatters too, with the ability to find links to other users trees. And again, this will be free too.

 ???

I can see by the comments of others, that I`m not the only dimwit when it comes to these things, I`m not quite sure what exactly this means, would it be for entering say, my own family tree or what? or results of my searching etc etc, would other people be able to contact me through the web site, and if so how?

As you have probably guessed,I AM a dimwit, I`m still trying to work out what things mean in the "Idiots Guide to XP"

I need anything to do with computers explained a lot, just not technically minded you see!!! after all, in my day, when I was a worker, when electric typwriters came in, that was a marvel, then I learned to use a teleprinter (now called I believe telex?) but you should have seen my wee face trying to work out the marvels of the now common FAX machine, of coure it was not called that then, but the full technical word!!
The computers were already being installed the year before I retired, and I used to think my boss (the chairwoman) must be daft if she thought  files could be kept in the computer!!! what would happen to all my filing cabinets and the mountains of paper accumulated therein, you see, I`m still in the stone age yet!!!
But, I was there when Xerox started up the "modern" photo copy machines, why I even went on a training course, and wonder of wonders, received a certificate!!!
no one in the office (in those early days) was allowed to put in paper etc etc, unless they had a "certificate"!!!

Ta Ta, thats me lot for today, have used up me energy quota

I would love my own site as I have been researching local and family history since 1977. 

How do I start?  Asked this the other night in the common room chat but all I was told was look out for something in the beginners bit.  Could someone in the know drop all of us computer idiots a line to say "look at this site and do what it says"  and send us off to a little quiet place by the sea to learn all the basics?

When I say "a little quiet place by the sea" I mean "virtually"!!!!!!!!

Thanks for a great site.

By the way, I have tried to add a picture on the mug shots page but the browse bit isn't there, it is here, but not there!  Any ideas??
