Well, as I mentioned, I really don't know my way around Tripod.Oddly enough, I cannot find the page that lists this information. Even with the account that I created manually (and entered all of my personal info), I do not see where it can be edited or even viewed. I am not sure if this can be viewed anywhere. Perhaps someone who is more familiar with Tripod can check this out.
I suspect that the information is only used for their own demographics which in turn would be used to sell all the advertising on the site (and boy is there a TON of it on there).
Maybe I gave Pete's script a higher mark than it deserved. To be honest it was just nice to find one that actually worked!
Tripod seems to be trying hard to become a Web 2.0 site (probably in an effort to follow in the path of MySpace and Facebook). They are offering a variety of different style of pages such as a photo page and a blog etc. It is certainly possible that developing a full set of pages there would prove beneficial, but using Tripod manually does not seem quick and easy.
Just my 2cents
