Plateman...
It sounds like you speak from experience!
but I can see that what you say is true...I was going pretty steady with the free sites for a while & now I feel like I have to get back to that, I am not going to have a huge amount of time to devote to a LL. You would suggest, then, to keep it as my own hub for now & not open it up until I can make it more of a priority? I think that's probably the best, I wouldn't want to do anything that is gonna hurt me in the long run.
I guess I'll just have to keep tryin to get that SE traffic & keep links on my freesites to get the surfers there.
I'm glad I posted here, I do tend to jump in with both feet, sometimes not lookin what I'm going to land in
I hope that I can build up enough of a rapport/reputation with those around so that when I am ready to plunge into the LL arena I will have lots of support!
Thanks
