Nothing on your desktop but a search entry.

sending an invite to your trust email mate

Eek. But as long as they stay at the Geocities-level they can do whatever they like.

And neat - they use CSS - now people can see that creating their 'own' site is a simple as editing the CSS file. That's really just it.

For the non-techies who don't understand, take a look at the different layouts of CSS Zen Garden to get an idea

You know, that could still work. Theres an OSX based program called Quicksilver that is incredibly handy. All you do is hit ctrl+space then type in the first few characters of what you want and it gives you a list of things. So to load photoshop its ctrl+space type pho and hit enter. It knows I use photoshop a lot so its already the first entry. You can use it for email addresses, mp3's by artist and album name etc, and virtually anything.

cyKey are you a photographer?
If so i like some of your shots indeed, do they come in high res

titchard · 23 Feb 2006 at 10:33

Quite a neat little site creator!

Specially as it doesn't seem to be overridden by adds like Geocities or some of the other free webspace providers seem to be.

Yes I am. Depending on which shots they may do. You should stop by the photography forum from time to time

Anyone know what the problem is ?

I get a 404 most of the time when I try and preview the page.... Going back and trying again seems to fix it.
