Oldie but New again...

Hi y'all,

It's been about 9 years since I started working for CE building free sites - back then, rules seemed simple - hell, I even knew html. Fast forward 9 years, now I'm working at OCCash with Jay, JeffK, Munki and the rest of the guys. I'm the "blog gal" - and maintain our blogs, plus other things... so now it's time to get back into the swing of putting together free sites (geeze, took me 2 hours of sitting there staring at DW before I could even remember simple html codes - now THAT is bad!)

Okay - I'm really stumped here. I *thought* - albeit obviously mistakenly - the free sites I put together were pretty dang good, but apparently they are not.

I'm getting rejected left and right, and quite frankly, have no clue. XXXJay has posted, but I figured since I'm making these, I better get my butt in here and get some help... *LOL*

Here's what I've been rejected for:

1. GG & PML: Blind or Misleading Links - Including Recip Links
**I only submitted the first 2 URL's to GG & PML, because I couldn't figure out what the blind/misleading links are. Only thing I can think of is the recip links. I'm going to change the button recips to plain text links - would that be correct??

2. We do not allow full sized pics on html pages. Please link thumbnails directly to image files. (from a different LL submittal, not GG & PML) Honestly? This sucks. I don't get it. IMO, just linking to a jpg makes your free site look thrown together, and I did not throw my sites together. I have always taken the time to try and find coordinating photos, try to write something to do with the photos, hell, even keep color-coordination/themes together from the main site!

So.. I guess I'm coming here to try and get some help on what I am doing wrong, what I can correct, etc. I've browsed some different LL's, trying for ideas - but some free sites seem so "cookie-cutter" anymore, I want to get away from that, I've tried using different templates on my gallery & video index pages also (let's not talk about THAT html fiasco with tables - geeze... LMAO)

Thanks for any advice anyone can send my way... Much appreciated!
