Never mind that old site; I've abandoned it long ago in favor of the
highly superior WBS service (now part of the GO network), see below.

Damn Tripod straight to hell; their new (& "improved") homepage
editor simply doesn't cooperate with my browser. Absolutely
*nothing* works...

Afaik, one of the best providers of free home pages is http://homepages.go.com/ No
pop-ups or large navigation
bars, just a single line of text and a small gif at the bottom of
your page.
Runner up could be http://www.fortunecity.com No pop-up, but
they do add a rather big nav. bar with (sometimes) an animated
ad to your page. Also, their recently new and (sigh) "improved"
homepage editor sometimes converts your pages to plain text
for some strange reason, so be sure to have a backup if you
want to use it.
