How to Launch Yahoo PageBuilder

Once you have gotten a Geocities Web address, the next step is to actually “build” your Web site with content. In order to do this, Geocities offers a program called Yahoo PageBuilder, which helps you find formats and lets you upload content to your site. Follow these steps to launch Yahoo PageBuilder.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Internet access
• Computer

1. Go the Geocities Web site. Log into your Yahoo ID account. Once your homepage has loaded, click on the button “Create a Web site.”
2. Click on “Try PageBuilder” at the bottom of the PageBuilder graphic on the next screen. The image is not a link, so you must click on the word link.
3. Click on the link in the middle of the page that reads “Launch PageBuilder.” This will open up the program and get you on your way to customizing your site.

Tips & Warnings

• You may need to install the program Java in order for PageBuilder to correctly run.
• You may need to allow pop-ups temporarily on your computer to let PageBuilder run as it is a window that will pop up once you click on the link.
• If you find PageBuilder through another site, it will not work correctly to build your Geocities site. You must log in through Geocities and launch Yahoo PageBuilder through this site.
