There's quite a few free website hosts such as Geocities and Tripod. However, the majority of free website hosts don't allow you to post images from your webspace due to high bandwidth usage.

There is no image. I told you that Geocities and Tripod don't allow posting of images that links back to your webspace with them. :p It puts too much strain on thier servers. It looks like your site is off to a good start though!

Before the site changed awhile back I submitted my image to be an avatar. So LS1tech is actually hosting it for me.

Email me the image and I'll host it for you or get Tony to add it to the site list.

Same for the rest of you guys. I know a few of you have emailed me about it, and I'm sorry for not replying. I'v e just been to busy to play to long at one time on the computer.

BTW, gonna move this to the Truck lounge and change the title.
