Thanks, Wild Unicorn. That was a great post, full of very helpful info. I appreciate the time you took to give that to me.
And thank you, Mr. BoobHat...er...mmmm....I mean Mr. Mary Lou

Static trades, that is what I want to start I think, yes. I know I need some trades, I just cannot afford time wise to have to invest a huge amount of time monitoring and babysitting them. Maybe in the future, but not now. And I would absolutely love to attend On The Bench, but I either work on Saturdays, or have my children home.
Useless Warrior...Yep, that is what I've got...the free AutoGallery script on my site. It'll do me for awhile, because I really am not going to court a bunch of public submits. I'd rather have smaller amounts of links and less frequent updates than have to put up with the bullshit. Not to mention I don't have the knowledge on how to catch someone who is trying to fuck me. Metaphorically, that is.

And I have been doing as you suggested with the recip link on my galleries and such. So a little bit of traffic is already in place, along with some bookmarkers.
You guys...~considers a closer peep at Wild Unicorn to be sure~ rock. Thanks for the advice. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope for the best.
