The site is currently hosted at no cost by Tripod. Tripod is unusual for a free website hosting service since it offers FrontPage 2000 server extensions. But, in return, Tripod is entitled to post banner ads on each page of our site. Our visitors will also discover pop-under ads courtesy of Tripod. The multiple ads cause the pages to load more slowly than I would like, but there are no monthly hosting fees for the chapter to pay. Another glitch involves technical problems with Tripods servers. E-mails to the system operator are answered by form letters repeating the same language that can be found on the Tripod website. However, there are discussion boards where users can help each other and Tripod does work to fix system-wide problemsmany of which are related to FrontPage 2000 server extensions.
