Yes, even dialup users generally get space to for a personal web page. You know, some place to post pics of your kids, or pics of your eBay items. Even AOL gives you a few Mbs for each screen name. If you choose to post free stuff instead, that's your business. ;-) Ask your ISP about it, or check their web site; they'll probably have info about "how to set up your personal home page." If worse comes to worse, you can use one of the free hosting services. That usually means you can't link directly to the item; you have to link to a HTML page first. But it's a fairly small price to pay, if you don't want to pay money. I like FortuneCity.com for free webhosting. Bandwidth limits aren't as restrictive as Geocities or Tripod, and while there are banner ads, there are no popups. FortuneCity's been around a long time, and they are reasonably fast and reliable.
