this is because you allow visitors to see the contents of your folder cdj1927

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cdj1927/ENTER%20SITE.html

needs to be renamed

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cdj1927/index.html


folder and page names look best all lower case NO SPACES

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cdj1927/ENTER%20SITE.html#WELSH%20PAGE

is also very messy


http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cdj1927/welsh.html

would be a better title for example


my stuff is in the side bar to http://hughw36.blogspot.com/

http://www.rootsweb.com/~dnkcen/index.html

a key page is
dnkcen Site Map http://www.rootsweb.com/~dnkcen/sitemap.html

which is in a footer to EVERY page in the site

dnkcen Site Map

I try and make my URL tell a story

FT 1787, Odense, Bjerge, Klstrup
http://www.rootsweb.com/~dnkcen/amt/odense/bjerge/koelstrup/ft-1787/index.html

quite a nest of folders for one village

dnkcen/ << Danish Census
amt/ << counties

odense/ << a particular county

bjerge/ << the district or herred or deanery

koelstrup/ << the parish

ft-1787/ <<< the census of 1787

index.html <<< th actual page is an index of the last folder

http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Ednkcen/amt/odense/bjerge/koelstrup/ft-1787/
opens the " index" page

http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Ednkcen/amt/odense/bjerge/koelstrup/
also a page called "index"

OOPS

http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Ednkcen/amt/odense/bjerge/

I need to make a page called "index" to close theses three folders

http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Ednkcen/amt/odense/

http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Ednkcen/amt/
in fact three of them

I have put it off

I can get the data from here http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/9991/index.html

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/9991/amter/odense.htm

just not got around to it
