Take my advice: Do not use Geocities!!!!
For a much better and reliable website use:
Freewebs!!!
With this service, you get no pop-ups..no ads..nothing that advertises you using their service. Its number one in my book for free websites!!! Also you get up to 100mb's of free space whereas Geocities only offers like 15mbs!!! Think about it!
Btw, when you register at Freewebs...they dont send you an email..pick the username, password, and go from there!!!
