Hello again ... By the end of the year, GeoCities will be ending their service
in providing webspace to the public; they will be giving more information about
this during the summer. Now I have a huge website with them ...
http://www.geocities.com/buddychai/Navigator.html ... which I originally
started if only to learn what goes on behind a webpage that makes a webpage
look like a webpage (it grew like Topsy whoever he/she is). So now I know some
html coding and that's about it. But the site is there and would like to keep
in on the internet (maybe only a matter of "hey, this is my work" or it's like
bringing up a baby; you bond with it).
All the pages are backed up in coded form on MS Word documents. I do not have
the pictures backed up of which there are many (see Old Brooklyn, Current
Brighton Beach, Magic, Optical Illusions, etc). I know very little about using
Notepad for backing up pages other than putting text in Notepad and saving it
in HTML. I built the site using the GeoCities editor and typing all the
necessary text and coding in it (or copy/pasting from one of my pages to
another the basics). I know nothing about FTP except what the letters stand
for; in other words, I've never used it.
So the question is ... How can I make the easiest transfer of the website from
GeoCities to another webspace provider? --- Harold
