Web Publishing for Genealogy, book by Peter Christian
This book shows you
- how to put your family history on the World Wide Web
- how to tell other Internet users it is there.
The book is practical
It tells you what you need to create Web pages from
information already held in your genealogy package. There are
examples of Web pages prepared directly from packages, and
indirectly via GEDCOM. The book also tells you how to make Web
pages:
- from text charts (e.g. from Personal Ancestral File)
- from graphics charts (e.g. from Generations and Reunion)
- with photographs and other graphics
- with links to other people's Web pages
The book explains the principles:
- What happens when you call up a Web page
- HTML (Hypertext Mark-up Language)
- Data compression - GIF and JPEG image formats
- Structure of URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) - the
world-wide addresses of Web pages
Peter Christian has a Web Site for readers
of the book, with information about resources and techniques.
