The best way to let me have data for publication on this site is by sending it as an attachment to an e-mail.  I can handle most formats, the best one to choose is the one most appropriate to the data the way you have it now, which will transfer the most meaning (information) e.g.:

If you are using a genealogical package please export to GEDCOM and send that.  If you have TMG or FTW, I can handle their native formats.

If the information is simple text, or text laid out to show meaning (e.g. indentation, italicisation etc.), then Word processing formats are best - I have the latest versions of MS Word and MS Works, which can handle most common formats - if all else fails .RTF or  plain old .TXT, or text imbedded in an email will do.

if you have the data in a spreadsheet, send the spreadsheet. I use the latest versions of MS Excel and MS Works, which can handle most formats but you can also send me a .CSV if you are unsure and have another package.

if you have the data in a data base then I can handle MS Access directly or .CSV representations of most others.

I can also handle most graphic formats.

If you have the data in some other electronic form send it as it is, but let me know what it is as precisely as possible and I will try to handle it.  You can Zip files if you want to keep your connect times down.
