UW, I really like what you said. We all make mistakes. I got my ass raked over the coals offline for a few just this week, and it isn't pleasant.
Mike, I totally didn't know what I was doing when I got in this business. I had a non-adult host and got listed on the hun and burned almost $600 in B/W in 3 days before I got switched to a different host. My site designs sucked. I have changed fetishes I've promoted a lot before I found some that work for me.
Stealing a design someone charges a price for isn't the way to learn. Looking at other's free sites, getting ideas on placement of advertising, text, etc, then building your own, ok. Listing up free sites here and asking for a critique helps too. I've built 100's and 100's of templates, and I'm sure some resemble others that people have built, as you said there is only so many ways to arrange items on a page.
Don't let your mistakes keep you from apologizing, leanring, and making money in this business. If I did, I would have quit a long time ago.
