It all started with a simple question: "Did you know that we can get a free home page from GeoCities?"

With a seemingly innocent question, the world of the SIAs was turned upside down. Our first step was a futile attempt to register at GeoCities and find a vacant lot. After this disappointment, we searched for other sites which provided free home pages. This led to our "first" EZPage site.

It was really quite simple. We typed in pieces of information and voila! About half an hour later, we had our site posted. This led to much excitement. So much so, in fact, that we managed to forget to sleep. However, our elation burst like a bubble when we received an e-mail message from the EZPage people telling us that this site was not *really* free. We would have to pay after two weeks. This drove us to send e-mail messages to everyone we know, begging them to check out our site. We considered, then, to look at other providers of free home pages. (Oddly enough, we found that our EZPage site is still in place, even after two weeks.)

We found our second "home" at Angelfire. We were kind of tired by then, and our enthusiasm had died somewhat, so we became very impatient with its editor. We left Angelfire disappointed.

We tried to find a vacant lot at GeoCities again and we succeeded. Hallelujah! We basically did the same home page as the EZPage site. We haven't really made our page "good" yet, but we were persuaded (by the numerous advertisements) to join the GeoRewards Program.

We were feeling very satisfied to have moved into GeoCities. However, one day, we received an e-mail message from the GeoRewards Program telling us that our site wasn't "developed enough." Needless to say, we were crushed. However, they sent us another message telling us that they were finally admitting us to the GeoRewards Basic Program. Perhaps they had seen our updated version of the site.

We are now always striving to better our site in every way possible. This is difficult because we do not have the necessary technical knowledge. We have been trying to learn as much as we can from the web.

And so we march in quest for Development.
