New free site format (version 1.5)

[stuveltje]

mmm i have tried those things all when i made free sites years ago, i believe i still have them, just a warning page with link on it right to the galleries (so no main page) then its only one click for the surfers, index pages with the icra, btw there are enough webmasters who build their sites that way. I dont see it as a new rule or a new thing, its up to the reviewer or linksite owner if he will accept it or not, even its not in the rules of the LLs i review i still will accept those sites (already do for years, fi they are not to bad...some are realy bad) but i still go for the old rules, everyone can deside if they wanna change the rules, but i also like the way how some webmasters (free site submitters) think and find a totally different way to make a free site.

well, I assumed that template was just an example, now everyone's talking about having that blogroll style strip of recips on every index page? I knew I should have stayed out of this lol

I still would want to design my freesites the way I want them, 4 page, 3 page, where the recips go & how many I use, where my ads go etc. I guess it would be better SE wise not to do mirrors, but you're pretty limited as to where you can put 40+ links on a page, the side strip seems to be the only way to do that and still have it look decent. Wouldn't that actually make every freesite look even more the same?

I just thought it'd be fun to shake up the freesite structure a bit, so there's a little variety available to the surfer and the builder I guess.

It's interesting to hear other people's opinions and thoughts, though.
