      "Under Construction"

      Why this is Important

      Visitors are never impressed by pages that say "under construction". It's perfectly fine to mention that a particular page is constantly evolving - with new links added frequently, etc. It's also okay to have a notice that a section will be "coming soon" - just don't LINK to it until it is in shape for visitors.

      How to Fix It

      Geocities does not allow "hidden" pages - those pages that are on your website but not linked in any way from your index.html page. However, if you have a page or set of pages that is under construction, you are allowed to have it on your website while you work on it [for a reasonable amount of time]. After you have tested it thoroughly, then you can link to it from the rest of your site.
