A user from neighborhood WallStreet/1043/ instructs newcomers:
“Membership of Geocities is free and each member is provided with up to 1M of disk space for free. You can get a few good images in a megabyte and I’ll do that as soon as I can get around to it. […] Tripod is similar to Geocities but provides only 100K of disk space. 100K is not the greatest but still sufficient to create a reasonable Web page, as long as you don’t go overboard with graphics – again linking to off site graphics is a space saving boon.”
100Kb!

Geocities did not only hosts lots of interesting amateur images, but also amateur software. For example Pete Bone’s “Pivot”, an editor for stick figure animations. (A stick figure elephant is also included!)

I’m trapped in a web ring of webmasters. Users teaching users how to move around W3C standards in order to squeeze the maximum from HTML. For example, Roxy M. Flanagan explains how to make Triple or Quadruple Backgrounds using double or triple tables for HTML page layout.
She also helps AOL users to fight AOL’s voluntarism:
I’ve seen a lot of howtos typed in comic sans in my web surfing career, but its quite rare to meet a user who has it as a system font. By the way, I never read a useful howto typed in Helvetica.
