In the fall of 2008 AOL dropped free website support. I'd shared a genealogy website there for several years. There was enough warning to allow me to archive my webpages to a 4Gb thumb drive before the final day.
Subsequent to this disaster I've modified some of the pages and put them back on the Internet on three different free Google applications: Blogger, Sites, and Groups. I've also shared some of the information on the Monroe County, Ohio genealogy website. Many of the pages didn't lend themselves to easy modification. As a result those are still on the thumb drive and not shared.
Recently, I've begun to think about this problem again. I think I can use the Freepages on Rootsweb to share my information, without too much modification to the HTML. Using Freepages requires a basic knowledge of HTML, of FTP and of how to set up the folder structure on Rootsweb.
