Have you tried this:
On your development PC, create 5 directories ("folders" in Windoze(r)-speak). In each folder, drop your "websites".
Perhaps they are called:
MyDogs
MyCats
MyHobby
MyCar
MyFamily
In the directory above these 5 folders, create one "index.html" (or "index.htm" or whatever...) file with links to each of the "index.html" in each of the 5 folders.
So you end up with a simple menu something like:
My Dogs
My Cats
My Hobby
My Car
My Family
Essentially, you have built one big website. Not to worry (yet). Great, now drop this one whole website up to one of your "providers".
You will be able to get to your "master" index file with a URL something like:
www.geocities.com/~myaccount/index.html
From there you can access each of your "subordinate" sites.
OK, to have a URL to any ONE of these subordinate sites, you just figure out the URL to the index file in the subdirectory. It will likely be something like:
www/geocities.com/~myaccount/MyCats/index.html
Voila!
Yes, it is an ugly URL, but that comes with using AOL/Angelfire/Geocities as a provider. Later on, when you can spend money on it, you can look for a different provider who can provide "virtual hosting", etc.
