To Whomever can give me some advice in regards to the above, etc.......
I've tryed to build websites with Geocities, & the great thing about it is it is free. And that is what I want right now, until I've learned to build my own webpages, etc.......
How do you create links, to other pages in your websites, as well as to refer people to other great websites. I'd like to learn how to build my own webpages, & I have some designed on my computer layed out right now!! Just a matter of applying it to the website & I've had some troubbles with it in regards to Geocities.
I suppose I should ask them, but if anyone can help me here it would be greatly appriciated.
I'll check yahoo & geocities to see if they can help me. Thanks for your time & possible help in this matter.

Okay, I resist the strong urge to bury you in information you don't need, I'll keep it simple.
Web pages are written in a special text format called html. You can write html manually using, a normal text editor like windows notepad, etc... Its really not that hard to do (if you really want to know more, just ask), but most people just don't want to. And that's fine.
Instead, (recommended for beginners and non-control-freaks ) you can use a graphical html editor such as Microsoft FrontPage Express (that comes with most versions of Windows newer than Windows 98 ). Many other graphical editors can be downloaded for free, search www.freshmeat.net for a list of 'em.
Then, after you've got your .html files, just upload them to Geocities (or wherever) along with any images, sounds, and other things that they reference. (come to think of it, Geocities might have its own graphical editor you can use online ).
Also, remember the first page a user sees when they enter your website normally must be named "index.html", that is, when somebody goes to "http://www.blahblah.com", they are really looking at "http://www.blahblah.com/index.html". Everything else can be named WhateverYouWant.html .
To answer your question about links, in graphical editors there is usually a link-of-chain or little anchor icon, or look for something that says "insert anchor" or "insert hyperlink" or even "insert link" there's usually something close to one of those terms used to describe it.
(and if they ask for a "href" that's just another name for the "http://blahblah" you want to link to)
I hope that helps!

J. Rhandom Christian,
Thank you for your suggestions!! I hope to look into it more soon. I do not know why, but maybe the alignment on my computer is strange, for I can't see far enough to the right to see enough of what you said. I'll have to look into that more too.
I'll check out the website that you referred.
Thank you!!
