Cheers guys, that solves that little mystery
So, next question: sooner or later I'm planning to put a "fake" link list on the root of one of my domains to act as a hub. At first it will just have links to sponsor galleries and my own freesites, but eventually I intend to throw it open for submissions.
Now, I've been working around the idea of using subdomains for each category, with the main index on the domain root. Is this going to be a problem for my future plans? Am I going to have difficulty exchanging category links with other lists if the cats are on subdomains? Or are these concerns aimed primarily at freesites?
