Blake,

I currently have a site at Yahoo! Geocities and I don't have much of a gripe
with them although I think there are quite a few people that are unhappy with
them and have been moving there sites.

I personally like the service and have no plans on moving.  One catch is that
if you don't put their "GeoGuide" on your page or sign up for "GeoPlus" at
$4.95 per month you get "POP-UP" adds when people go to your site.  I
personally find these extremely annoying and often will leave a site
immediately if I get a "POP-UP".  I therefore would suggest at least putting
the "GeoGuide" on your page to stop the POP-UPs even though this puts some
unwanted advertising on your page.

I also signed up for "GeoPlus" and it has some nice features.  I havn't gotten
around to removing all of the "GeoGuide" adds from all my pages yet however.

Hope that helps,


Eric
