New AOL Genealogy Forum Screen!
DearREADERS,
It is with great pride that I explain to AOL subscribers that the main screen of the Genealogy Forum on AOL has changed! To
accommodate increasing content, and make things EASIER for you to find, GFTKim (lead programmer), and Forum Leader GFLGeorge have come up with a marvelous design!
I particularly love the fan pedigree chart background design!
You'll also notice:
Ten buttons
Feature links - 4 text, 1 graphic
One drop-down menu box
The 10 buttons include:
1. BEGINNERS (Internet)
2. MESSAGES
-- Surnames (AOL)
-- US & International (AOL)
-- Ethnic & Special Groups (AOL)
-- Computer & General (AOL)
-- Internet Message Boards (Internet)
3. SURNAMES (AOL only)
-- Message Board Center
-- Surname Areas
-- Too 1090 US Surnames
-- Mayflower Surnames
-- Input Surname Wweb Sites
-- Internet Reunions
-- New? Introduce Yourself
4. RESOURCES (AOL & Internet)
-- Regions of the World
-- Ethnic Resources
-- Vital & Other Records
-- Genealogy Forum Newsletters
-- Addresses
-- Other Resources
5. REUNIONS (Internet)
6. SEARCH THE FORUM (AOL only)
7. CHATS (AOL only)
8. CHAT SCHEDULE (AOL only)
9. LIBRARY (AOL only)
-- Ancestors
-- History & Culture

(Be sure to read about the new Library Sort feature!)
10. COLUMNISTS
-- GFNews (Internet)
-- DearMYRTLE (Internet)
-- Adventures in Genealogy (Internet)
-- Pilgrims, Pioneers & Aliens (Internet)
The FEATURE LINKS are to advertise chats, special topics, news events, and the link. These are updated on a daily basis by coordinator HOSTGFSTaz.
You'll notice from the list that SOME of the items of the Genealogy Forum are found on the web, and some are exclusive to the environment of AOL. For instance the beginners & all of the columnists have web pages, to allow for dynamic programming, and to make the information available to all, regardless of internet access. The main screen of the Genealogy Forum just makes it easier for the majority of you who are AOL subscribers to find genealogy-related information on AOL and out on the web!
BRAVO! this screen design is well thought out! BRAVO! to the staffers of the Genealogy Forum for providing the largest collection of talent in the online world of genealogy.
PS - AOLers: Go to Keyword: roots
