There's a new genealogy site just launched, and it's very easy to use.
It's http://www.RootsChat.com
It's a genealogy forum with a twist - you can add images (eg your birth certificates, grave images etc) and it allows you to instant message each other too.
The people on there are very helpful and friendly, doesn'y have those annoying pop-up adverts, and it doesn't cost anything.
I'm plugging it because I have found it very useful in my research.
