About Tripod
This site is hosted on Tripod
which provides "free" web pages. The price of free is a little
advertising
in the form of pop-up or banner ads. So, when you view a page on
this site, you'll probably also get one or two pop-up windows and a
banner ad across the top of the page. It's best
to
leave them alone; just click on the main body of the page you want to
see
and they will disappear behind it. Or, better yet, use a browser
like Mozilla or Firefox which can
automatically block pop-ups (IE can now block pop-ups too if you use
Windows XP and install Service Pack 2).
As of this writing (October '04), the banner ads have disappeared and
have been replaced with a set of small box ads which appear at the top
of each page. I believe these come from Google
AdSense. They are an improvement over the banners because
they at least relate to the content of the page (it's funny, the last
time I displayed this page on Tripod, Google must of keyed in on the
phrase "block pop-ups" and the ads were all for blocking
programs). Unfortunately I have no control over any of the
advertisements and do not profit from them other than being able to
host these pages for free -- Google pays Tripod, not me.
If you've got information you
want to share, Tripod is a
good hosting service for simple websites.
