Decided to try a free site ;)

Hey SG,

I would list it on my LL, and I don't really see any problems with it. For me as far as time involved, it generally takes me about 2 hours from start to finish on a new freesite. That's downloading / resizing pics / making thumbs, gathering banners/promo, and designing the site.

I didn't have to download, but it appears I should resize, so 2 hours sounds about right. I'd like to make it so it's acceptable on all of the big lists so I'll have an idea of wether it's worth it or not. It takes me a lot less time to do a basic feeder AVS site, but they'll get a lot less traffic as well, so I'm just experimenting a bit.

I'm not really sure I like the "The Finest Quebec Pussy!" links that lead to a landing page? It walks the lind of blind advertising, I'm not sure I'd deny for it if I know the submitter, but if I were building it, I'd rather not take that chance.

Nevermind, I actually followed it and saw where you're leading the surfer, but if you confused me on first blush it may confuse others?

I'd list it, but I'm a thoroughly nice guy - unlike those other reviewers. I too see the text links that some may consider blind, though I personally have no problem with them. As long as they aren't misleading, I'm fairly easy to get along with (at the moment).

It's a bizarre twist of fate that today I built and sub'd my first free site in about a year, so I'm feeling oddly compassionate towards free site builders.

Hey Useless, we all know you're a thoroughly nice guy About the text links, well they draw better than banners, give the site a cleaner look, and aren't blind, a bit boastful maybe, but hey
I noticed when reviewing sites that not a lot of people use text links, and I've never been one to do things like everyone else does, which is likely why I won't be doing a lot of free sites
If I do hire this guy to do free sites for me though, I'd be using more text links than most, also using my own content, and likely changing sponsors banners every now and then. If that's going to cause problems .
My deal with this guy is that I provide the content and hosting in exchange for 1 link per page, the other 2 are his. The guy is great with graphics but shitty with words though so I'd likely be at least editing his wording.
I dunno, I may not even do it, I'm happy enough doing what I do, but I've got a lot of CD's kicking around full of content I'll likely never use on my own, so I'm sort of talking myself into it
As long as I don't have to do all the work

I thoroughly look forward to that review! And I just know you'll be submitting it to me.
