i found it:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/geocit ... es-05.html

I've got 2 major school sites (political assassinations & music bios)
1 site i built for Graham Seidman (r.i.p)
personal site
swiss poet collection site

Geocities says they'll give out info concerning how to save our sites this coming summer. Sounds to me like i've got a lot of saving to do.

I am stunned. I got oodles of files on fuur geocities sites. I have a hundred other bookmarks to websites that I go to on geocities. Including yours. I hope they will help in redirecting browsers to the new location.

Going to be a hassle.

At times like these I am reminded of Zorba the Greek's line about
"Life is trouble. Only death is not,"

Good luck. I am going to miss the heck out of those other websites going 404.
