   Yup, just use the advanced page builder. You’ll be able to paste in all your HTML and publish it live. 🙂

   Save the file and use the Easy Upload Tool goto the Create and Update Tab then Easy Upload Browse for the file and

   Create & Update or Index tab of your GeoCities Control Panel, then click “Easy Upload. Then Click Browse. Also check the checkbox to make the file name lower case.

   If you want the page to be the main page name it index.html OR index.htm

   Look below for the answer from Geocities.

   2. In the file name field, make sure you give the file a .html extension. For example, your home page should be named index.html
   3. In the Files of type pull-down menu underneath the file name box, choose All Files. This is important; you can’t save the file as HTML if you do not choose this option.

   geocities allows you to upload files in .html, .htm or .doc format. that means that the extention (the part behind the . in your filename) must be either of these three.

   Be careful with Geocities though as it only allows you to upload files with no spaces in the file name. You will have to add an underscore _ or just leave out the spaces if you have in the name. for example, Geocities will not accept a file called “my diary.html” but it will allow you to upload “mydiary.html” or “my_diary.html”.

   Hope that helped, if not, email me.
