Yahoo! 360° is closing. Here's information you'll need.

Dear Yahoo! GeoCities customer,

On July 13, 2009, we will close Yahoo! 360° to focus on making your new profile on Yahoo! the place to connect with the people who matter to you most. After July 12, 2009, your Yahoo! 360° content will no longer be accessible.

Your 360° blog content will not be deleted. However, to ensure that none of your site pages break when we close Yahoo! 360°, we will freeze your blog to prepare for this change. Please read on for more details.

The Effect on Your Blog
Beginning July 1, 2009, your customers will be able to read but no longer interact with the snapshot of your blog, and you will not be able to use your GeoCities tools to add or edit posts. Your frozen blog pages will remain available on your web site until you decide to edit or delete them. Learn more about what freezing means.

Moving Your Blog
We know your blog is important to you, so our top priority is to ensure a seamless transition to a new blog service. To help, we've built a blogging tool for you in your new profile on Yahoo!. You can move your posts to your profile with just a click.

We've also made it easy to download your 360° blog posts and comments in a format that can be transferred to another blog tool (see the help center for recommendations).

You will be able to link to your re-created blog from your web site. If you'd like to maintain a blog as an integrated part of your site, please consider upgrading to Yahoo! Web Hosting, which includes free blog tools.

Visit the Yahoo! 360° blog export page to begin moving your blog now.

Moving to Your New Profile
Your 360° information will not be automatically transferred to your new profile on Yahoo!. If you'd like to move your profile photo, nickname, and any personal status messages, please save or download these before July 13, 2009, then upload them to your new Yahoo! profile. Learn more about saving your 360° information.

The Yahoo! GeoCities team
