Thanks for setting that up Opal! I just signed up myself. I may even fork over the dough to end the ads. (p.s. How are you feeling - well, I hope!) ---

Skip, your page rules. All you need to add is an image of someone giving you the finger, and embed a sound file of “Go Away”, and it will be perfect. 🙂 ---

I think Blackeyes was making a funny. 🙂 Anyway, if anyone has any problems or questions, please post 'em. Once you start making your site, a good source for free doohickeys for your site is [www.bravenet.com](http://www.bravenet.com) they have all sorts of cool stuff… polls, counters, guestbooks, guestmaps, etc. ---

Thanks so much Opal, I made a page too. The ftp didnt work for me with geocities, oh well but I did my page again, not like its much of a page but anyways its in the beginning stages and I’m trying. Is there a file size limit? ---

I’m really having trouble uploading my website. I’m using Frontpage 2000. I followed the tutorial and when that didn’t work I tried connecting via ftp. Here is what it said: 530- ======================================================== 530- NOTICE: FTP ACCESS NOT AUTHORIZED 530- ======================================================== 530- 530- Your FREE account does not include FTP access. If you 530- want to use FTP to access your [teemingmillions.com](http://teemingmillions.com) account, 530- you need to get one of our Premium Hosting Packages. 530- 530- Please go to the Upgrade Services page for more info: 530- [http://ell.teemingmillions.com/cgi-bin/util/upgrade](http://ell.teemingmillions.com/cgi-bin/util/upgrade) 530- 530- ======================================================== 530 Login failed.

I selected a domain name that isn’t my Straight Dope screen name. Is that going to be a problem? I haven’t done anything to my site if it is. The name I picked isn’t currently anyone else’s name. ---

Snooooopy: the TMHP isn’t connected with the SDMB in any way. You can use any name you want to. You don’t have to be an SDMB member to use it, either. cherry and Ell: FTP is only available if you upgrade to a paid account. To upload your site, go to your main menu \> work on my site \> power tools \> file manager and choose upload. It has a little box where you tell it how many files you want to upload at once, then it gives you that many upload slots at a time. ---
