How to Make Changes on a Yahoo Website
If you've created a webpage with Yahoo! Geocities, it's a snap to make changes. There are several methods to edit the page. The easiest way to make simple pages is with the Yahoo! PageWizards program. If you are an HTML whiz, you can get the most flexibility by using Yahoo's HTML editor.
And if you want to make fairly substantial changes without having to work with the HTML, you can use the effective and practical Yahoo! PageBuilder program. In a few simple steps, you can modify your page's content and appearance, and add new functionality.
