Why does that
box from
Yahoo/Geocites pop up??
For allowing me to put my pages on their server at no cost, they put that advertising box on the page. It is like the commercials you see on T.V. The advertisers pay for the show in exchange for airing their commercials.
This box does not pop up for people on WebTv because their systems aren't equipped with a computer language called "Javascript." Although, I have heard that they are going to be Javascript enabled sometime in the future and may already be available in some places.
Just a little information on Yahoo/Geocites. Yahoo acquired Geocites a while ago so that is why you see both of the names together a lot of the time. For the most part, they have had good service. Once in a while their system will be down and you can't access a page. But considering the vastness of their system, and the complications computers and WevTv (I am sure you can all identify with that!), they do a good job.
There are some people out their who have their own domains. The address to their site will be something like www.mysitename.com. Most of the time they pay someone a monthly fee to host their site.
I might do something like that in the future, but for now, I will just use sites like Yahoo/Geocites.
So, that is why the little box pops up in the corner of your screen!!
