The biggest reason I had for clearing out the Geocities space was to keep my Downtown Nowhere pages alive.
Downloading the files to a separate folder then uploading them by FTP to their new home was a breeze. Getting Google and Yahoo and the other search engines to see that the pages have a newhome was going to be more difficult.
For the time being, I’m taking the advice of this artice: How to Deal with the Geocities Closure. I will also try to report back after a few weeks have passed.
Finally, I may create a new section of this site to host my old page, just for laughs and nostalgia.
