Yahoo is discontinuing FTP access to free GeoCities accounts. Since Blogger publishes via FTP, this unfortunately means Blogger will stop working with free GeoCities sites at that time. This means you have a few options to consider:
1) Stay at GeoCities and upgrade your account to one of their paid options, which all allow FTP.
2) Upgrade to a different paid host, which allows FTP (you might, for instance, check out Cornerhost, who helps host part of Blogger and starts at $5/month).
3) Move to a different free hosting provider.

Well after weighing up the above options I went through each and made the following points against each one.
1) Not bloody likely if I could afford to pay I wouldn't be here in the first place
2) See above
3) Tempting but too much hassel

So I opted to take the nice people at blogger up on their blogspot offer. blogspot.com is a blog spot hosting providing thingie which is all well and good, but I have just recalled that Geocities won't allow you to link to images from external sources. Meaning I can't upload pictures on my Geocities account and post them in my blog because it is located at blogspot.com

Arse!

Oh well I'll sort it when I have time, don't know when that will be though.
