Moving to Geocities - Removing the Code
Now here is the same page with Homestead's coding removed, but with Yahoo!Geocities' coding added at the bottom. Still in green are the Homestead elements that need to be replaced. Right now, they're still being pulled from Homestead's servers as coded below.

Her web graphics samples are adorned with sayings that make no sense at all. Why is it there? I have no idea. Maybe to fill space. Maybe to make one think. Maybe just because.

I thought, "It's there, I can use 8MB and 3 pages, why not create a site that reflects how I feel?" </FONT></DIV><DIV align=left><FONT COLOR=#cc0033><FONT class="Helvetica16" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, Arial Narrow" SIZE="3"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV align=left><FONT class="Helvetica16" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, Arial Narrow" SIZE="3">This site will remain here as long as I continue to update it every now and then to prevent deletion from non-use, or until I get tired of it, whichever comes first.</FONT></DIV><DIV align=left><FONT class="Helvetica16" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, Arial Narrow" SIZE="3"><BR></FONT></DIV><DIV align=left><FONT class="Helvetica16" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, Arial Narrow" SIZE="3">Other than my rambling thoughts, I'd like to feature Java applets which I find totally fascinating. I think one applet per month is reasonable enough. The applets will range from image tricks to effects to menus to games. Whatever looks interesting but will not always be practical for a website.</FONT></DIV><DIV align=left><FONT class="Helvetica16" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, Arial Narrow" SIZE="3"><BR></FONT></DIV><DIV align=left><FONT class="Helvetica16" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, Arial Narrow" SIZE="3">So, enjoy the applet demo of the month...the first featured applet is the one you saw at the portal. Subsequent ones will be on the Applet page, though the one on the portal page will always be there. I'll also give you instructions on how to put the demo applet on your page. Hopefully, the changes to SiteBuilder won't be too drastic that my instructions won't make sense or won't work at all.</FONT></DIV><DIV align=left><FONT class="Helvetica16" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, Arial Narrow" SIZE="3"><BR></FONT></DIV><DIV align=left><FONT class="Helvetica16" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, Arial Narrow" SIZE="3">My other site is Jay's Lab.

A little bit shorter, yes? It could be made even shorter if there weren't so many font tags for every sentence, but rather for each paragraph. There's no need for that excess. Better still is using  page-wide cascading style sheets, but that's another lesson. If you want to know more about CSS, start with HTML Goodies for a good overview and Lissa Explains for colorful examples. 

 Now, to view screenshots of how I published to Geocities from Sitebuilder and where I went to in Geocities to make the changes. Please be aware that the screenshots may cause your browser to load the pages really, really slowly, so be patient. Thanks!
