Makes GeoCities A More Respectful Place To Set Up Shop!

The costs of many computer systems, software packages, and Website hosting schemes have been coming down quite drastically these last few years. It is now possible for most people new to the online scene to set up an online presence with little expense involved. The GeoCities Website service has offered millions of people the opportunity to set up their Websites for free. Learn how you can take advantage of this service to get online today! Ben Sawyer and Dave Greely have teamed up to offer a first-class presentation of the GeoCities service with the publication of their book, Creating GeoCities Websites. Long regarded as merely a place to set up shop with loads of advertisements to wade through, GeoCities actually has quite a lot to offer in the way of exposure and benefits for those who know the service and know how to take advantage of it. With very little effort anyone can quickly set up a Website for just about any purpose. Readers are invited to take a tour of the GeoCities service via their Website to gain familiarity with the many options they have to choose from. The authors thoughtfully provide a detailed explanation of basic membership information to operate by including benefits of the service, the rules to follow, and specific restrictions placed upon them. Website design is made much easier by following the simple instructions in the book. Readers will learn how to use design templates and incorporate a bunch of features into their Websites such as sounds, graphics, linking, and credit card use. The authors offer words of warning to help prevent accidental overriding of files and provide basic information on copyright restrictions to prevent possible legal action. Plenty of helpful tips, design layout and effective marketing ideas, and online resources are also provided that make this book an excellent design guide! This book contains many colorful examples of Websites and Web pages readers can easily create themselves. It is beautifully illustrated, easy to read, and its instruction fun to follow. I enjoyed reading through the book so much that I may eventually set up a GeoCities site of my own. This book is must reading for those considering hopping onboard the GeoCities bandwagon of users. It will help ease most objections raised about GeoCities in the past. If you can live with GeoCities or want to know more about it, this book is for you!

Excellent book for all GeoCities Homesteaders

I bought this book to get a better grounding of GeoBuilder, because many of the questions I get from Homesteaders deal with GeoBuilder. As a Community Leader for Geocities, I also bought this book out of curiousity, and am glad I did!

A good reference for GeoCities members

Others have reviewed this book as a web page design reference. However, this book is actually a reference to the tools GeoCities provides for making the most of your hosted website. I would think of it more as a "help manual" for GeoCities. Excellent for beginners and a definite must for GeoCities community leaders.If you are looking for a website design book, then this book is not for you. However, if you have or want to have a site hosted at GeoCities and want to know as much as you can about the tools and programs provided, this book is an excellent reference guide.

Excellent Book!

I am a Community Leader at GeoCities, and I bought this book out of curiosity. It covers all areas of GeoCities in depth! So if you have a website at GeoCities or are planning to get one, I would suggest buying this book!!
