But then again..... True, I hate the pop-up ads more than anything, but I think the Geocities web page will be better and I will tell you why. The prodigy server (which PB was using before this) had a program called "building blocks" where you had to go step by step through their program using their backgrounds and they pretty much built the site for you. It took forever to figure out how to FTP and I'm not really sure if it even works correctly. At least Geocities will give the option of making an individual web page, without the same background as everyone else. |

Just FTP into »ftp://home.pacbell.net with your username and password and upload the site into your directory.

If you have an email ending at pacbell.net thats where you setup your web space. For sbcglobal beats me.

If you have an sbcglobal.net email, and it's not with SBC/Yahoo DSL, you should be able to go to pages.sbcglobal.net and login there to get your webspace.

Geocities has NO ftp access... they removed it about a year ago.. so your really stuck using the page builder ot file uploaded (and that really sucks!)

I have a pacbell.net email address (for 2 yrs now) and I've never set up a personal home page. When I go to the PacBell Personal Home Page site in the attempt to set one up now, this is all that shows after the login page:
"Welcome to Personal Home Page from PBI"
"Please visit www.yahoo.sbc.com to sign up for personal home page."
From what I've seen here, that page will take me through the merge thing and I don't want to do that yet, so it looks like I missed my chance for a pop-up free website.
Darn, drat, dang and...so forth.

| Uh huh....if you are pacbell.net and either deactivated your personal web page OR never set it up, there is a glitch that directs you to sbc.yahoo.com, which you can't use until everyone migrates to the yahoo server (I think some time next year). I know they are working on a fix, but I haven't heard about any resolution yet... |

Were you one of the early migration customers from this site?

It truly is the lowest level where we ALL make the difference. |

Nope...Just sittin' tight with my original PacBell account.
I'd like to think that what Snow42 said is true, but I did think that perhaps my firewall is overly fired up and maybe that interferes with some sites' normal functioning. |
