Barb,
You might want to try something like this setup
http://www.family-genealogy-online.com/ The site is no longer hosted
on the FreePages server but was for a long time.

The entry to the site is a Table of Contents on what can be found on
the site. It is then divided into sections, one for each of the four
lines - two maternal, two paternal for both my husband and me. Each
contains a brief explanation and what can be found in each section.
The navigation at the top remains the same on all pages and links to
the main sections. No matter where someone enters the site, they can
still navigate to each of the main sections.

Each of the subsections also uses a side navigation menu with the
links to the pages within the section. The index page for each of the
subsections contains a Table of Contents for that section plus a
brief explanation.

To me the main reason to use the misc section as the intro to the
site, would be the shorter url you can give out. If as Judy does, you
use more than one of the communities, it would help. If like me you
use only the genealogy community, then I prefered to keep my pages
all there and used that url in my signature line and anytime I sent the link.

For ease of getting to each section, I have those pages plus the home
page bookmarked under a heading in my browser so they are easy to
find. Bookmarks in Firfefox and Favorites in IE.
