Welcome Vienna Residents and Visitors
Early in the year 2000, Yahoo!/Geocities decided that member sites would be given URLs that corresponded to usernames.
For example,
http://geocities.datacellar.net/neighborhood/suburb/streetaddress
would become
http://geocities.datacellar.net/username.
Although that undoubtably makes it easier to remember and type, it has the effect of eliminating the neighborhood name from the URL.
Back in the 'old days', a homesteader would pick a neighborhood based on the neighborhood's specific interest. For instance, the Vienna neighborhood and its suburbs were devoted to Classical Music, Ballet, Opera, and other concerns relating to the philosophy, composition, performance, and presentation of 'Art' Music. The homesteader would then apply for a site within that neighborhood.
Now the possibility exists that a homesteader may join up with Geocities and obtain a site without belonging to or participating in a neighborhood. Homesteaders may develop their sites and choose to affiliate with a neighborhood later if they wish.
Although this would seem to insure that only genuinely interested homesteaders participate in the community experience, the visibility of the neighborhood as such will require active promoting from the homesteaders if the character of the neighborhood is to be preserved.
Therefore, we urge those Vienna citizens who are proud of their
Vienna membership and who wish to participate fully in the
Vienna experience to join the
Vienna Residents Club, a continuing post where citizens may
voice their opinions and share their dreams, and keep informed
of the day-to-day community development.
Furthermore, if your site meets the
community guidelines, you are invited to download and
display the graphic at the left on your site.
It is suggested that you add a paragraph or two describing your
reasons for joining Geocities Vienna. A link through the graphic
or a simple text link back to this page would be appreciated.
The URL of this page is:
http://geocities.datacellar.net/Vienna/Strasse/6809/visiblevienna.html
If you are a recent homesteader in Geocities and have not yet joined a neighborhood, go to http://geocities.datacellar.net/neighborhoods and click on the "Join a Neighborhood" link in the upper right corner.
