Publishing a New Tree

•The Tree Name is what will be used for your domain name. If you enter Sample for your tree name, your website address will be http://my.rootsmagic.com/sample/

•The Tree Description is just a short descriptive name for your own use.

•While your entire database is uploaded to the server, you can choose who will be displayed using the filtering options (and the privatizing options mentioned later). You can either hide people in groups, or show only people in groups. Groups. You can also choose whether to have MyRootsMagic include a help screen for visitors, and what date format your tree should use.

 

 

The next screen lets you select options for the design of your tree's home page.
