: I really like the WG Family Tree. You really amaze me sometimes. I could not imagine myself dedicating the amount of manual effort that put into your webpages. I guess, I need to get out of my 'computer programming' mindset. Heck, at least you get things accomplished. Sometimes, I start things and never finish. Most times I just procrastinate and never start. *laugh* Anyway, I wanted to thank you again. *smile*
: O.K.… to the point of my post…
: I was wondering who my WG grandparents were. So, I will attempt to contact my WG daddy via anonymous e-mail. Maybe he will respond, maybe he won't. It can't hurt for trying. *smile*
: So, I was wondering if this suggestion makes sense to you?
: Maybe somewhere down the bottom of your page could you:
: 1) list instructions of how to locate your WG parents (this is more for new Georgers or inactive Georgers)
: 2) Request that other Georgers try to locate their WG parents as well.
This sounds like a good idea. I've actually created a separate page for that, which I will link to at the top of the Tree. Does it look good, or still need work?
: So, what do you think; am I a complete idiot, or what?
: Hmm, As a matter of fact, I just changed my WG Welcome page: http://www.hansmguy.com/wg/wheresgeorge.htm . *laugh*
Looks good, although you might want to add to the "EMS" section a couple of these Hank posts so that people will know how serious it is.
Also, several times when you "recommend" something should be probably be worded somewhat more seriously as many people think "recommend" is just a personal opinion (for example, where you "recommend" against highlighting the serial - Hank has said that he doesn't want anyone doing that). Or maybe I just take this more seriously then I should.
: Thanks again for taking the time to read (and hopefully not offended by never ending suggestions) *wink*
