    Cyndi's List - FAQ
    How many people work on your web site?

      Cyndi's List is maintained from my home in Edgewood, Washington. It is not run by a large company, or by a large staff of people. In the beginning there was only one person keeping track of all these links and keeping the site current - just me. From 1996 through 1999 I was the only person who worked on the list, although I did receive a lot of helpful feedback and support from others. In November 1999 my sister-in-law joined me, working part-time for Cyndi's List. She updated and fixed broken links. As of October 2007 I was once again alone in maintaining the site.

      From the time I first created Cyndi's List, my husband helped me by sending me new URLs, proofreading things, acting as a sounding-board for my ideas. From April 2000 to August 2006 he also worked directly on the web site, categorizing links, mostly for the United Kingdom.

      Over the past decade, I have had friends (Sam Behling and Jen Godwin, among others) help me with special projects and the backlog of submitted links. A programmer from Sierra Online, previously the sponsor of my site, helped me create the automated scripts that run various forms on the site (i.e. "Submit a New Link," etc.). For several years the site was hosted at RootsWeb. The kind folks at RootsWeb kept the server's hardware in fine running order so that you could access the web site any time day or night. Programmer Randy Winch helped me at RootsWeb. Once I moved to a new server, Jeri Steele helped me with the technical side of things in the transition.

      Other than that, I am the sole owner of Cyndi's List. I am not a big company or a business. I am not a "Dear Ladies & Gentleman" or a "To Whom It May Concern". "Dear Cyndi" would be just great!
