Much better to use your own editor. The Geocities one makes your page
unfriendly to those who have text only (Lynx(?) I think it's called - I
have it in the freenet). No matter how many times you exchange &gt; for

Otherwise, Geocities is pretty good and as Joan says, if you have
Netscape, it's very easy to upload there.

NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
