Got one of those nifty free websites GeoCities is handing out? Sick and tired of all the pop-up ads and that new transparent gif that now appears at the bottom right corner of your website? Well, I know I'm tired of lookin' at 'em - and now there is something you can do about it! This could very well be common knowledge, but be warned: the wisdom I'm about to impart upon you probably violates that user agreement you agreed to and they could very well pull the plug on your free ticket (hey, Big Brother can't possibly be monitoring ALL those free websites, right?).

Here is the deal: every time a browser loads up your GeoCities webpage an extra bit of Geo-java-script sneaks onto the very end of your html code (right after the
< /html > tag) . What you need, my friend, is the cleansing power of some extra coding to wash away that java stain! Simply add a sly bit of code after your closing html tag like so:

< /html >
< form >
< textarea >

Update: Notice that "textarea" is now one word...

Presto! Your GeoCities website is free from unwanted pop-up ads and floating gifs. What could be easier?

Please folks, when the GeoSecret Service kicks in your bedroom door and starts confiscating anything with an electrical cord don't tell 'em where this secret knowledge came from! When they haul you downtown for questioning and the good cop/bad cop team has you baking under those hot lights for hours on end, just remember how Han Solo didn't give up the goods in the Bespin torture chambers!

"Who gave you that forbidden information, kid? Make it easy on yourself..."
"Do your worst, Dark Lords of the Sith! Ptui!"

I'd like to bring the house down for a moment and extend a hearty thanks to my friend Philip Wise of Rebelscum.com. He has generously given the Station a nice parcel of land on Planet Wise and for that I am most appreciative.
He is one of the good ones.
