My cable provider for a nominal fee provides web hosting so I upgraded. I started using Kompozer to build a website. I don’t think it’s going to be adequate to what I want to do and also I've had problems with it -- the cable provider says it's creating problems and they recommend using their tool to build the website. It’s free. But I don’t like its templates -- they're not suited to what I want to do. I am now worried about this host provider not being "compatible" with whatever website building tool I choose. I'm not sure if I should be - don't know enough about it. I want to find a website building tool that gives me freedom to design the look of my site. I'm somewhat tech savvy and willing to deal with the learning curve. Do I need to have a web host that is "compatible" with whatever website building tool I use? I am wondering if I need to change from my cable provider to another host. The domain name is my first and last name so if it means changing to another domain name, I really would prefer not to have to do that.
Finally, I guess I would want to upload my Legacy pages to the site as opposed to renter data but I don't feel I have seen enough examples here to know what different options there are or how they would look. Is there any way to "test" print a Legacy page to see what it looks like on the web? What "page" does one publish to the web -- is it a report? If not, what is it, exactly? Pat Hickin's Wikitree pages appealed to me but he/she (sorry Pat I don’t know if you’re a Patrick or Patricia) said the Legacy conversion to Wikitree was difficult. Any answers to the above questions or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Barton -----Original Message----- From: John B.

As a genealogy program, it allows multiple people to work on a single copy of a genealogy as the database is on a web site. But more importantly, it is, in my humble opinion, the best tool for publishing your Legacy genealogy on a web site. Unlike Legacy's web site feature, TNG uploads your Gedcom into its database and then dynamically generates the various pages on demand by visitors. With the Legacy app, you create static pages on your PC and then upload them to your web site. I started using dynamic web publishing for my research in the late 1990s when I figured out that trying to upload static pages would just be unreasonable. I discovered TNG about 2004 and have been using it ever since. Here is a link to part of my Davidson research: www.davidsongenealogy.com I maintain my master file using Legacy and then from time to time create a Gedcom from Legacy and upload it to TNG. So, of course, it is very important to me that all of my data from my genealogy get properly transferred to TNG. This thread began because we have discovered that the Gedcom interface between the two programs is not working as well as it could. I suspect that 1000s of Legacy users are using TNG. john.
