They have an FTP link. You can sort your stuff into whichever directory you want, I believe. I haven't used the FTP option since I was in college--3 years ago.

Do they have, like, web-based forms to help you administer your site?


More or less. The administration is completely web-based.

Do they give you traffic information, like how many hits for each page and such?
Not directly. About the only way I could figure out the "true" count on each page is if I add a Tripod counter to each page. They used to malfunction all the time, so I quit using them some time ago.

Do they give you easy ways to collect information from forms on your site?
Not sure.

Do they have frontpage extensions which you need?
I believe so.

I've had Sycamoreland on Tripod off and on for 4 years now (minus a month on Angelfire and 3 months on GeoCities). But to be honest, I haven't kept up with Tripod much over the past 2 years. Truth be told, I'm still stuck in simple-HTML land. At one point, I had the ads removed from the site (at $6 a month for 6 months), and could do it again. They now offer an easy way to buy your own domain name for use on Tripod. I'm considering going for it. I really would like Sycamoreland to have its own "home" after 4 years.
