 [image: Yahoo! GeoCities Service Announcement]  Important notice: GeoCities
is closing. Dear Yahoo! GeoCities customer,

We're writing to let you know that Yahoo! GeoCities, our free web site
building service and community, is closing on *October 26, 2009*.

On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web,
and you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files.

*What You Need to Do*
If you'd like to move your web site, or save the images and other files
you've posted online, you need to act now by choosing one of the following
options:

 • *Move your site to Yahoo! Web Hosting. *
We know your files are important to you, and we want to make moving to Web
Hosting as easy and affordable as we can. For a limited time, you can move
your files automatically, take advantage of terrific features like a
personalized domain name and email, even redirect your GeoCities web address
to your new site — all for only *$4.99 a month for a full year*.

For more information and complete terms, please see our special
offer<http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/webhostingup.php?p=GEOWH499ANNUAL>now.

  • *Download your files to your own computer.*
With your pages and images saved offline, you can re-create your site with
any hosting provider.

To quickly download your published files, visit your GeoCities web site,
right-click on each page, and choose *Save Page As...* from the menu that
appears. Choose a location on your computer to save your files, then click *
OK* or *Save*. Learn more about downloading your
files.<http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/geocities/close/close-02.html>
*Don't Wait*
Please be aware that after October 26, your GeoCities files will be deleted
from our servers, and *will not be recoverable*. If you'd like to save your
files, you must download them now or move to Yahoo! Web Hosting. If you need
