That's where I learned to do HTML to keep from going bonkers, while home with my young children. Then I moved on, learning from how-to web sites, and books, and finally getting a certificate from the community college. My neighbor saw me doodling with my original Geocities design (R.I.P - the design, that is), and gave me a job! So now I get paid to do it, vs. for fun. Which is not always mutually exclusive. I last updated my Geocities site in 2004, and it's been almost a year since the last of the infrequent emails regarding that site arrived. I changed the design, made it rather a garish color combo, but it was all just to please me, so what the heck. On the bright side, maybe it will mean a slight decrease in spam to my yahoo.com email account! Thanks for shedding a tear. Another fond memory down the tubes; such is life!

It seams unreal that that the neighborhoods of GeoCities are truly comming to an end. I too am shedding silent tears.
