    1. [TNGEN-L] Geocities
    2. I have received several pieces of e-mail since my post on Geocities pop up windows. Most of it has been good but some has taken me all wrong. The banner ad at the top of most Geocities pages cause no errors that I know of. What I am speaking of are the popup windows that contain the word popup in the URL, that people have to close to see your page. I have looked around the TnGenWeb and found that most of you have these turned off and replaced with Geoguide. Once again Geoguide causes no errors that I know of. If you want to see an example of a Geocities page that causes no errors check BFoster's at Anderson County http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/4916 And also Athol's Fosters in Dekalb County http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/3627/ These pages contain the geoguide in place of the full page popup. The Geoguide is actually quite useful with the navigation bar. But to say again I am not blasting Geocities, Xoom, Angelfire or any other free services that sell advertising. It's the way they make money as is my own Maynardville.Com. I did try to explain something without getting my point across. (My usual fate) To see a better description of computer crashes caused by Geocities popup pages and why they happen visit: http://freeweb.digiweb.com/entertainment/snicker/geopops.htm I'm not endorsing their opinions at all but they do explain the problem better than I can.
