How to upload to Geocities without ftp and without EZ-Upload:
This should normally not be possible. But it is.
Geocities has provide us with a HTML-editor. You will normally use it
for simple modifications of the HTML-code, which allow us to wiev our pages.
Luckily it allows us to cut and paste with the normal Ctrl+A
(marks everything) Shift+PageDown (Marks a lot), Ctrl+C (copies the marked)
and Ctrl+V (inserts it, also in the editor window).
The limitation is that you can not edit large documents.
Also you can not upload pictures this way. (But if you have the pictures
uploaded, you can write the <Img>-tag. Warning: The copyright! They
won't be as generous as they have been.)
It is necessary that you can see the HTML-code of your page, if you
want to do this.
If the above conditions are met, then you can use Geocities HTML editor
to upload in the following way:
- Make the page as you wish it to be, using Netscape Composer, HomeSite
or whatever. Any picture you want to use must be on the internet already
(WARNING: The copyright laws must be obeyed).
- When you wish to upload, open WordPad, the small word prossesor in
Programmes/Assesories.
- Open the file in WordPad by pressing Ctrl+O, choosing to see
All Files and finding the HTML-file you have made. Open the file.
- Open your browser. Go to the page http://login.yahoo.com and log in.
Find http://geocities.yahoo.com/, and choose File Manager.
- If you have already made the page, choose it from the list and edit
it. If not, choose to Create a new HTML file
- When you can edit the Geocities file, go back to your own file. Choose
to View Source, HTML Source, etc. and mark all, then copy
what you have.
- Go back to the Geocities page. Click inside the window, where the Geocities
Page's HTML is seen. Mark the part which is not supposed to be there any
more, and press Ctrl+V (OBS: some systems use Alt+V). Or
find the right place in the code, and insert it, again with Ctrl+V. The
code you made is now in the window, together with any part of the existing
code, that you didn't mark.
- Then press the button Save underneath the text editor window.
- The list of your files reappears. Check that the document is as wished.
You now have a document at Geocities.
