Helping Cyndi with Cyndi's List

I receive a lot of very nice e-mail from my friends online with offers of help and support. I appreciate these offers more than you can know. The work on the site is an ongoing, ever-growing task, so I have a very large "to do" list on my desk. There are many ways that you can help me with the site on a daily basis. The following is a list of administrative items that I deal with each day:
• Report broken links to me as you find them. Correcting broken links is my first priority each day.

• As you visit other genealogy web sites, please take a minute to check for links they may have to Cyndi's List.
  • Is the address for the link current and pointing to the current http://www.CyndisList.com URL?
  • If the link points to an old address at http://www.oz.net/~cyndihow, please take time to write to the web site owner and ask them to update their link with the new address.
  • If they do not have a link to Cyndi's List, please ask them to consider adding one to their site. Please point them to this page: Create a Link to Cyndi's List.

• Recommend Cyndi's List and specific category pages from Cyndi's List on mailing lists, newsgroups or in chat rooms during conversations about genealogical research.

• Report any problems or oddities you find on the site, including spelling errors, inaccessibility issues, layout or spacing problems, etc.

• Visit one of your favorite category pages on Cyndi's List and determine where it might be falling short. For example, if it is lacking in library links, please submit new addresses for library web sites to which I can set up links.
