Correct Dwight You don't need an Index "spider" per se, as the RSS feeds dont need to be crawled. Often when RSS feeds are updated, it 'pings' the indexer...
Hi all, I just want to point out two new web-indexing review articles that are appearing in the current issue of Key Words, The Bulletin of the American...
Hi Heather, I had a look at the review of XRefHT32. It says, "You cannot automatically add linked cross-references without additional software but can only...
Hi James, Thanks for looking at the XRefHT32 review article. To create a cross-reference link, don't forget that in addition to adding the URL for the link,...
Hi Heather, No, that was my point. XRefHT32 does, automatically, create the anchor at the destination term - for every heading, whether it is used or not, so ...
... Hey James, what's with all the blank lines? You are wearing out my scroll wheel.... ;) -- Regards, Larry Harrison <<< Sorry, I sent the message as HTML....
Hi James, Thanks for information about the automatially generated anchors at each index entry. Indeed I had overlooked that. That does simplify the matter of...
Hi Heather, I have used XRefHT32, very much experimentally, to create the index on my own Website, jalamb.com When working out how to do cross-refs I worked...
XRefHT32 was a very simple indexing tool way back in 1998. Tim Craven helped me and Jon Jermey create Webix (DOS and Windows versions) which are no longer...
... Yes, I am sure that you are right and that XRefHT32 has moved on a great deal since then. It certainly does all that you need to build website indexes and...
I'm very new at indexing...so I'm hoping to get some thoughts from more experienced folks. I am the content manager for several web sites. One of the sites is ...
On the index to the professional site you could use a heading like: resume how to write (student site) You would need to be consistent and have the "(student...
Thanks so much! I do have an extensive site map on the student site, but plan to index the student site early in 2006 and then will fold that index into the...
Hi Claudia, Indexing a few external links as part of a site index is OK, and where you stop is up to you. In any case, external links ought to be indicated as...
I guess this is the open source approach. Each chips in a little bit and the mountain is slowly moved. All that early stuff was meant to lead into others...
Actually, with regard to good old Notepad and other old school approaches to HTML, I still code all of my Web pages - and indexes - by hand. Except for the...
Hi Dwight, Thanks for your comments and history of web indexing tools. I just now sent off an e-mail to Maureen Henninger (University of New South Wales) to...
I think there was a change of attitude. When I left, there was no-one to really get their teeth into the 'quality' of the indexes if you like. The judging...
The award is not limited to Australians -of the three current awards (http://www.aussi.org/prizes/webindexawards.htm), one is to a Queenslander and two are to...
Hi Heather, The UNSW web indexing course is run by me (Glenda), and covers the HTML Indexer, metadata etc components of our book. The first few were run by...
... you aware of any other books really on web site/HTML indexing besides your own? I wrote notes for my online course Introduction to Web indexing but they...
I just got an email from UNSW that said they no longer offered librarianship and to contact A/Prof. Wilson on c.wilson@.... She was one of my lecturers...
For Web Indexing SIG membership, dues have been a minimal US$5.00 to pay for the cost of the web site. I was thinking of raising the dues for 2006 to US$15.00...
Hi Heather, I think $15 is quite reasonable, considering the extra expenses we will be incurring - not to mention the fact that this SIG is global in ...
... Other ASI-affiliated SIGs, by the way, have higher dues. ... This is true. But some only collect dues when they are running short of money, and some are...
I'm willing to pay any reasonable amount that we decide on. Personally, I think $15 sounds high, but again, whatever is deemed fair, I'm for. Karen Lane...
Just curious How many members are there, and what's the total cost of the site? Are there development costs or custom designs that need to be paid for? If not...
I liked the practice I saw in one SIG of charging new members to join, rather than charging ongoing fees. This has the advantage of keeping paperwork simpler....
