<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I downloaded your free software: Surfraw.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am volunteering doing a project for residence in the state of Iowa.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have set up a free genealogy project that will allow anyone to come and
use the site.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am having a simple problem. I down loaded it but I am having
trouble putting it on the site that I paid for.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there an inexpensive place that could download it and then, perhaps, I
could pay the monthly fee?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will have to figure out how to attach it to the main site tho.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am working with the governor, many of the mayors, elected officials,
grassroots organizations, churches and the school in hopes of making this a
success.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In Iowa (I know that you have read) we have been devastated with tornados
flattening cities, floods destroying even one of our major cities, storms and so
forth this year. We, like other communities, are feeling the financial
crunch. So, I thought it would be great to have something for families and
individuals for free.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They will have access to a site to do their genealogy. I know that
there are other sites that are doing the same. But what makes this one
different is that it will be a one stop. Kinda like a shopping center,
where one can go and choose from different choices.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have found other freeware that will be included. </DIV>
<DIV>1. Classified. (The state of Iowa is willing to work with those
interested in setting up cottage industries and finding grants or
loans. Their advertisements will be free. YOUR will be on there also
if you would like. Since I am using your software it will be FREE)</DIV>
<DIV>2.YOUR software: Surfraw: Internet search engine--hopefully to be
named will include:genealogydomain search engine. That is not a
must. Or Freedom Search Engine. I also have another name that would
really be great but I do not know if you allow name change. And if you do
I do not know how to do that.</DIV>
<DIV>3. Articles: where people can place their articles or writing about
their family or family experiences.</DIV>
<DIV>5. A Wiki program for the schools, churches, and community to
use </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is a chat room that is robot monitored. Any racial slurs,
discrimination, sexual word will get the person booted out immediately.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This site is family oriented.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since I am a teacher, I am also working with some teachers in setting up a
genealogy project so that other teachers will begin to also take interest and
include it in their various class plans.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your program: Surfraw is much needed. For the classroom and for
those out of the classroom.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have been assured that if the project is "looking" to be a success then
some of the aforementioned will either find funding or an "angel" to keep the
project going for at least 5 years and if there is a need for upgrading because
of the need of traffic, then that will be considered. If that happens then
there will be employment for some and purchasing of current or other software
suggested by those helping me in the beginning.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have done all of this out of my meager budget. And I
really appreciate you allowing me to use your software free.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have set up a statewide media campaign and you will be mentioned.
And hopefully, if it is what I pray it to be, I will be able to request
that one of your representatives be interviewed by media.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have 5 genealogist (certified) who will choose one family member to work
with to do some genealogy free. I have not set up the criteria
yet. But, anyone who has helped with this project will be a
priority. I have genealogists from Canada, Germany, Australia, Iowa,
and Ohio. They are heir finders. Interested in one of them? (The
media will be involved. This is to assure integrity in the project.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now what is this all about? I do not know how to put your program on
site. I have tried. My computer is a 1985 and so I guess it does not
have the capabilities of doing it. I know everyone shutters when they know
how old my computer is. But, this is what I have and my budget will
allow.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, I am asking if you know a host or are you a host where the cost for
downloading and putting it on site would be "cheap"? The terms
are somewhat complicated...I am an English teacher and not a computer
specialist.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The site will be up and running NEW TEARS DAY 2009.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can you help me or direct me?</DIV>
