Using mobile devices to acces wbrq02.com
The site should now be accessible and usable on most devices, however there are so many combinations of type / model/ operating systems/ browsers that there are bound to be a few issues. Most of these can be resolved by searching the internet for the right solution for example .. you may not realise that you can request a 'desktop view' on your mobile. If you're stuck drop a line in the discussion room..its likely somebody will have already have the answer.
Note also there is a Tribal pages App you can download from the Apple store or google play . . Its easy to use but to make it suitable for mobile devices it has reduced functionality. If possible i'd recommend you add this to your device as an alternative view..it handles photo records well if you
want to focus on them.
WBRQ02 Progress update
21st August 2019 Update
The site has moved up the google search rankings and will often appear within the first 4 pages depending on the search criteria.
The site has moved up the google search rankings and will often appear within the first 4 pages depending on the search criteria.
The site has been running for about 10 months. Over that time a number of improvements have been made , most recently the introduction of a discussion forum. In terms of milestones we have reached the 100 individual users target and the number of names on the site is 2000. So far the site has/is being used by people in USA, Canada Australia, France, Ireland, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Egypyt, Nepal, Sweden, Bangladesh, Chile, Indonesia. The site typically gets 2-5 visits per day
For the next six months it would be good if you could hit about 130 distinct user mark.
We have some good stories documented with a bit of a backlog to catch up on. However we need more. Ideally supported by photos, voice recording or video.
Family specific updates will be posted against respective family tree entries P5-P8

Comments vs Discussion
Any comments on the specific blog/diary entries below please enter in the comments field following the posted message. Any requirement for a detailed discussion across the group should be entered as a forum item P0.
Progress Pages for the Core Families DP5-DP8
These will summarise where we are up to with each of the core and close families and will give an idea of what we'll be aiming for over the next few months and what issues will need to be addressed
Google Groups
Google Groups is being tested over the next few days as the likely choice for our discussion group. The aim is to keep it as simple as possible and cater for periods of low activity and then short bursts of high activity.
Photos, Audio and Video
Thanks for all the photos you have loaded so far. Remember you can load these yourself for your immediate family.
I would like to get more some old audio/video samples to put on the site as they really do add something special. I'm aware that some of you may have these treasured items tucked away but now you can't use them because they're in the wrong format and/or they need seriously editing to make them interesting and focused on the person we are linking to.
In either case I should be able to help. Alternatively, I expect there are some members who have already tackled this issue of lots of recordings on out of date formats?
Introduction to WBRQ02.
To kick things off I thought i’d give a quick summary of where we are at and what are the plans for WBRQ02.
The site was launched four months ago. It has now passed 1500 names. Where possible the data has been validated by members and there appear to have been no major errors. The usage of the site continues to increase and the site has been used almost daily by different people over the past month. There are people from the USA, Australia and Sweden now using the site. The number of people now registered members is 32. The site is regularly mentioned in the tribalpages top sites listing, which identifies a small number of the better designed sites out of the 450,000 they host.
I’ll aim to do a short review every six months. For next six months I’d like to get to over 100 distinct users, ie not one user looking 100 times but 100 users looking as many times as they like. I expect there is some sort of tipping point where the site becomes more widely known and discussed, however I have absolutely no idea where that is.
To move things along as well as the tribalpages site I have now taken ownership of this wbrq02.com domain name. I also have the WBRQ02 channel on You Tube. I would welcome any thoughts on how to make the best use of the two websites and You Tube?
