Kill me now.

I just went and saved all the remaining material from my ancient main Geocities site. Tedious? Yeah. And now my laptop is crammed with disorganized documents and photos. On the positive side, I saved everything of any importance. I deleted all of the "borderline" material, figuring if I haven't done anything with so far, I probably never will. I do have another Geocities site that I... just realized I can't ignore, because there really is stuff there that I kind of need. Saving all of that is going to be painful.

BTW, Geocities closes for good on October 26. Just in case anyone else has stuff over there that they don't want to lose.

Geocities is shutting down? Man. End of an era.

It's kind of sad. I got my first site there over ten years ago. Geocities was free, convenient, easy to use. I've tried other free providers and haven't found any that suit my needs as well.

do you have a mac? you could use web devil to download your sites easily. it's free for the first 30 days so you wouldn't even have to buy it if this is the only thing you'd use it for. if not, there must be a similar windows program somewhere, right?

I have Windows. I probably should hunt up some sort of program to do most of the work for me. Thanks for the tip.
