So I'm getting ready to post my first freesite!

Right now, I'm in the process of figuring out which LLs to post it to, making sure I obey all their rules, and posting the recips. This is much harder than I thought it would be! Part of it is so many of the requirements overlap, contradict, and otherwise cause me a headache.
For example, one LL requires to be listed with a bunch of other LLs. Okay, fine with me. But I'm not eligible to submit to some of the listed LLs, because they don't accept that niche, and in one case, because I have to become a partner by emailing info including my "three most recent sites" which I obviously can't do as this is my first site. Do I have to abandon the contingent LL as well as these other ones, because I can't list them?
Should I not be taking all these rules quite so seriously? How do other freesite posters keep track of all this?
