My name is Martin Tallett, and I'm a GeoCities Community Leader. As one of a many of Community Leaders, my job is to help new Homesteaders (that's you!) learn how to create great web pages and settle into their new neighborhoods.

If you're like most new Homesteaders, you're probably going to have a lot of questions. Never fear. I answer my email within 24 hours.

If you are lucky I may be online right now. Find out at http://profiles.yahoo.com/martin_tallett

You can meet other Community Leaders in SiliconValley at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/2448/

Here's a list of places you can go for answers to some basic questions about building your new GeoCities homepage.

You can find tutorials of all the programs GeoCities has to offer to get you on your way to building your own homepage with ease here at http://howto.yahoo.com/

Every neighborhood has its own main page.. That's where you can find out what's going on in SiliconValley, including contests, promotions and features. The main page also includes a directory of your neighbours' websites organized by topic or suburb http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/

For a complete list of member resources and other useful information, go to http://geocities.yahoo.com/home

If you are between the ages of 13 and 19, you might be interested in seeing what other SiliconValley teens are doing. The SV Teen Team site is at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Garage/5701 - check it out! If you're interesting in joining the team, there is further information on the site.

Looking for tools for your construction project? Visit http://geocities.yahoo.com/help/

And finally, once you're all settled in and comfy, you can chat with your neighbors in a chat room at http://www.geocities.com/chat/Entry/Silicon.html

Or, post questions and comments in the forum http://messages.yahoo.com/yahoo/GeoCities/index.html

If you are looking for icons to link back to GeoCities, Cowgirl has a great set. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/1813/Icons.html

I will be glad to help you with any aspect of your GeoCities homestead, so feel free to drop me an email and please include your homepage address.

Again, welcome!
