HTML is a quick learn most ppl, even those that cant code, either raw HTML or via Front page, learn it fast. In less than a year.. you will be wishing you had that 500mb
... HTML is VERY simple... its once you start adding applets, and scripts, and php, and sql and .. and .. and that it gets even more fun LOL...
Also geocities will tend to go down now and then your "free" bandwidth is very limited, like 300mb a day or hour or something... the 500mb free space I gave above has a 5 gigabyte limit per month.
