Second Recip Page - New Directory?

Mirror your html, but keep content in a directory below the html files.

site.com/freesite2/1/index.htm;index.html;main.html;gallery1.html;gallery2.html
site.com/freesite2/3/index.htm;index.html;main.html;gallery1.html;gallery2.html
( skip a number for a bit of 404 type in traffic )
site.com/freesite2/bigpics/
site.com/freesite2/thumbs/

That way youre not mirroring the actual content and using up disk space unnecessarily, and not jumping directories which some LL's dont like. You could put html files in site.com/freesite2/ but then you'd have to have 2 different versions of your main and gallery pages because the files would be in different locations relative to your html, easier to just have exact copies of the files the only difference being the recip tables.

Personally I think 12 recips is just about right, too many more and it can look a bit cluttered and ugly, and it also provides a bit of flexibilty ( 4 rows 3 columns, 3 rows 4 columns, 6 rows 2 columns, etc. )
