I would hate to see the option to create html files deleted from a future version of Roots Magic since Google is not able to search files created by Publish Online. I currently upload my database via Publish Online to the the Roots Magic website and via html files to Rootsweb since Google searches the html files on Rootsweb. I then cross reference both sites so that anyone looking at one can check out the other.
Please do not discontinue the html files option since that is the only way for a cousin who does not know me to find my site via Google.
