Yeah, since AOL went to being a free service they got rid of AOL Hometwon, AOL Journals )blogs), and at the end of this month, they are getting rid of the AOL Photo Service.
As Menolly said, they
did give the people who had thsoe website on AOL Hometown and those blogs at AOL Journals plenty of time to relocate.
For the journals they had a link to transfer your blog in its entirety to another free service.
For the webpages, though, they only said to store what was on it using a software they linked to, and to find your own new host.
Hopefully, the people running the old Zindell page on AOL saved their info, and will someday resurrect it with another server.
As to getting the Hangar to move forward in Google listings, you must put up links to it everywhere on the web. Anyone who has an unused (or used) blog or website should link to it. Supposedly the more links Yahoo and Google can find through their bots, the higher they rank a website in their search engines.
