how to put your own family tree on the Web

Reunion (Sure, I've already listed it, but it deserves it)
Mac OS X (Mac OS X is great operating system for any genealogist, especially those who wish to put stuff up on the web. That's because Mac OS X supports PDF system-wide, so if you can print it, you can make a PDF and have it up on the Web in seconds. Which is excellent for sharing charts and graphs)
PHP Gedcom Viewer (Some understanding of MySQL web site administration would be helpful)
The GEDCOM format (A nitty gritty guide to the standardized format used in genealogy trading)
MySQL (The database engine behind it all)
Apache Web Server (The Web server used on this site)
PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (The Apache module of the gods)
GED2HTML (A program to convert GEDCOM files to static HTML. Available for Mac, Unix, and Windows)
Many genealogy programs now offer a feature to export
to HTML directly (Reunion does). Also, Web sites like
RootsWeb.com and Ancestry.com both allow you to submit a GEDCOM for hosting.
