Yahoo pulls the plug on GeoCities
Yahoo pulls the plug on GeoCities
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23 (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) is shutting down GeoCities, a free service that hosts personal home pages for consumers, which it acquired for more than $4 billion 10 years ago during the heyday of the dotcom boom.
This is a head's up for all of you with homeschool support group or personal sites on Geocities, and there are a whole lot of you! I have provided a free Wordpress blog service where you can move your content to. It is called A to Z Homeschool. Join first and then create your blog. There are many templates to chose from, and yes, you may sell Amazon books or have other homeschool-related ads on your site if you want, or to be ad-free.
I, too, am pulling the plug on geocities sites where the content does not appear to have been updated in years or an email to the contact person bounces. Though I will attempt to see if the group is "lively" on another site, I could miss, and delete your group. You will need to send me an email with your new URL, and which state and subheading it needs to be placed under.
