User talk:Newprogressive

Hi Newprogressive!

Welcome to the Genealogy Wiki. Robin Patterson usually does the welcoming, but he's off on a three week holiday, so I thought I'd do the honor's.

I notice you are using one of the templates for inserting information. That's an evolving process, and several features have come available since the template itself was placed on the create page. I probably should update the template, but in the meantime, you might want to look at some of the bits and pieces on my user page---under templates. The "Vita Box" (ugly name, but haven't come up with anything better) and "ChildList" templates are particularly useful---though you have to understand a bit of HTML formating to use them effectively. We're working on ways to make their use easier---but that's a long term project.

At anyrate, you can find them here UserWMWillis/Templates

You might also want to check out how I display portion of my family tree--- User:WMWillis/Tree

That also requires understanding HTML formating, but if you understand that, then this is a useful way of seeing where you are.

But again, welcome, and if I can help you in anyway, give me a holler!

Bill
