GeoCities Site Info

Hi ROBERT

Welcome to the GeoCities Personal Homepage Program! Thank you for choosing GeoCities. To foster the growth of the GeoCities community and keep it fresh and evolving, please keep in mind that you'll need to start building your homepage within the next three weeks. To that end, this e-mail is designed to give you all the info you'll need to get
started at GeoCities.

The URL for your Personal Homepage is:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Oaks/8712/

YOUR MEMBER NAME IS: rjenash
YOUR CURRENT PASSWORD IS: redmule46

(NOTE: We will NEVER ask you for your password under any circumstances.
To maintain your privacy, please do not give it out to anyone).

STARTING UP:
To change your password (it's a good idea) or any other personal information, use our Profile Editor at:
http://www.geocities.com/members/tools/profile_editor.html

BUILD YOUR HOMEPAGE IN MINUTES:
Are you brand-new to building Web pages? Then try GeoBuilder - it's the easiest way yet to create your site on GeoCities. Just use your mouse to point and click, drag and drop. It's that simple!
http://www.geocities.com/members/tools/editor/inter.html

Or use our Help Tutorials to learn how to build pages with the other GeoCities HTML editors:

MOVING IN:
If you're pretty confident in your computer/Internet skills, the first thing you'll want to do is log in to the GeoCities File Manager and edit your index page with one of our five Page Editors. Presently your page says something like "Hi, my name is Mary and I haven't moved in yet." You MUST either upload a new index page (index.html) to your GeoCities directory, or make a new index page within the next two weeks. Otherwise, your site will be deleted due to inactivity.
To make a new index.html file:
1. Log into the File Manager:
http://www.geocities.com/members/tools/file_manager.html
2. At the bottom of the File Manager, choose an editor from the editor choices.
3. Click on the "create new html file" button.
4. You will be prompted to name the new file. Name it: index.html
5. Choose "Save" at the bottom of the page when you are done.
6. Hit the "Reload" button on your browser to see the new changes.

There, you're moved in! If you need more help, the GeoCities resource page is a list of GeoCities help guides written entirely by members. It's a perfect example of how our homesteaders help each other out, and it will surely answer many of your questions.
GeoCities always appreciates the opportunity to showcase great member
homepages!

PAGES THAT PAY - THE GEOCITIES AFFILATES PROGRAM
So just what is an "affiliates program?" Simply put, it means that you team up with a leading web merchant and sell products on your web page. Every time a visitor buys something you get a commission! It’s easy to set up and always free, so why not join today? Follow this link to learn more.

CONTENT GUIDELINES:
In a nutshell: no nudity or pornography, no outside sponsorship banners
or signposts, and we allow commercial pages only in the GeoShops. For
more info on GeoShops, please go to:
http://www.geocities.com/join/geoshops/

Before you start your homepage, please be sure to read all of our
policies and page content guidelines at:
http://www.geocities.com/members/guidelines/

HOUSEWARMING PRESENTS:
To welcome you to your new home at GeoCities, our sponsors would like to
present you with a few gifts. Visit the GeoCities Housewarming area at:
http://www.geocities.com/members/housewarming/

AND FINALLY...
We really only require two things of our homesteaders:

1.) We ask that you place a customizable GeoGuide on top of your pages
or support the GeoPops Program. These forms of advertising make your
free pages possible. If you prefer the pop-ups, do nothing and they will
appear randomly. Or, if you would rather avoid banner advertising
altogether, you might want to take advantage of our premium service, the
GeoPlus Program, for only $4.95 per month.

Find out all about the GeoGuide at:
http://www.geocities.com/members/programs/geoguide

And get more info about GeoPlus at:
http://www.geocities.com/join/geoplus

2.) We also ask that you do not interfere with the transparent
Watermark on the corner of your GeoCities pages. The Watermark is
designed to increase your chances of being found by visitors. For
example, if you're on a great gardening page, clicking on the GeoCities
Watermark will take you to other great gardening pages. We think the
Watermark greatly improves our service to you, since it decreases the
amount of work it takes you to meet our content guidelines, and it will
bring more traffic to your site!

Again, welcome to the neighborhood!
