'''Moving a section to a new page:''' When a section becomes half a screen to a full screen in length, seriously consider moving it to a new page linked from the existing page. | '''Moving a section to a new page:''' When a section becomes half a screen to a full screen in length, seriously consider moving it to a new page linked from the existing page. | ||
'''Courthouse information:''' Courthouse information is needed in Courd, Land and Property, Probate, and Vital records sections. It is a good idea to avoid duplicating the same information (such as the courthouse address and phone number) in each section. The courthouse is also a repository with its own unique collections, organization of records, and other search ideosyncracies. Therefore, create a page for the courthouse, put the information there, and link to the courthouse page from other sections. | '''Courthouse information:''' Courthouse information is needed in Courd, Land and Property, Probate, and Vital records sections.
