Though I may or may not update this page as time goes by, I had to add these tips simply because those stupid pop-up adds annoy me to no end and I wanted to get the word out about these secrets. Keep in mind though, part of the contracts w/ Geocities, Tripod, and Xoom are that you have to have their ads on your site. =) If you've got any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

XOOM Bars<head> and </head>
Copy and paste the following script to your first page. It may help to have splash page, but I don't really care for those.

<!--
if (window != top)
top.location.href = self.location.href;
// -->
</script>TARGET="_TOP"
ex: <a href="name_of_your_file.html" target="_top">
