That's WAY too many for one Free Site. A Free Site, in it's most basic form, is: Warning Page ---> Main Page ---> 2 Gallery Pages with 12 pics or 60 seconds of movies per gallery.

What a lot of people also do are create a hub page where they link to all their Free Sites (like the root of the domain) It doesn't have to be anything fancy:

I can look past those 2 things

Sure

Would you consider something like this an adequate warning page? I can't decide myself, and I'm actively working on this idea/page.

No, but that would be good for a warning page for your hub.

I promise to cut down on the length of these posts. Thank you all again for having me in your forum.

The length of your posts is fine. Ask us any & all questions. We're here to help

Thanks for the info and advice, abatis and Greenie. Useful article and itemized reply!

I think I do need to start paying more attention to these standards/guidelines. They probably exist for a reason, i.e. they work for people. Plus, whatever I'm doing at present isn't working so well.
