Would You Like A Genealogy Q&A Site? - Blog comment by lkessler - 4 Sep 2012
Anquestory:
I remember Everton. They had a very good magazine and did a lot for the genealogical community.
As far as the Q&A site goes, once it's up and into Beta, it will be the participants themselves who judge the quality of your questions. Your question will be upvoted if good, and downvoted if ...

Would You Like A Genealogy Q&A Site? - Blog entry by lkessler - 24 Aug 2012
Where do you go now if you have a question about Genealogy? Is there one convenient place where you can ask a question and almost immediately get answers from people trying to help you? Before you read the rest of this post, if you feel you’d like to have such a site, then go right over to the Genealogy ...

Time To Shore Up The Spam Defences - Blog entry by lkessler - 22 Aug 2012
I don’t know what they’re trying to prove, but for the last month or so, the Behold User Forum has been getting a spam attack. It started with a message every few days, slowly growing in number and frequency. Today I found six spam messages posted. I’ve been manually deleting the messages one by one, and ...

Responsive Web Design - Blog entry by lkessler - 20 Aug 2012
So … a couple of days ago I posted my thinking about ways to make a mobile version of my website. A few hours later, I found Google Developers recommendation to use “Responsive Web Design” and I added that to the post. I concluded that I’ll probably use it. Now guess what was on my mind after that. Yup. ...

Six Ways to Make a Mobile Version of a Website - Blog entry by lkessler - 18 Aug 2012
In 2008, I redesigned my Behold website to work well, look good, have unique features and be memorable. I’m still very happy with it, and the way I customized and integrated the forum and blog into the design is something I’m quite proud of. I carefully chose a fixed size width of 782 pixels that printed ...

Reassessing the Behold Road Map - Blog comment by lkessler - 18 Aug 2012
Thanks Brett and Deckie,
It's the display of data with the Life/Family events shown that I hope you'll like. When the data input finally comes, I'm sure that part will blow you and everyone else away. Source-based data entry on top of that should be just what's needed.
I used slide rules, too. But I was ...

Reassessing the Behold Road Map - Blog entry by lkessler - 15 Aug 2012
Every so often, I take a step back and assess where Behold is. I always have my Future Plans that I am aiming for, but they occasionally have to be adjusted for new ideas, new trends and new objectives. A number of important things have been going on that are causing me to make small course corrections to the ...

Ordering Events by Date - Blog comment by lkessler - 8 Aug 2012
Tony:
Behold does some of that already. If there are no dates, then births will come first, then living events, then the death, and then a few post-death events (burial, cremation).
But in the long run, I think all dates (for at least births and marriages) should be estimated as best as possible and ...
