Sorry, can't resist this ... Remember, you ALWAYS get what you pay for! Free use web host can offer that because when folks come to your page, they hope to siphon off a certain number to their stuff and/or sponsors. If you work around this by loading graphics straight from their servers, you're basically cutting off the limb you're sitting on. In case no-one's heard, bandwidth ain't free. SOMEONE always has to pay for it. Free host are doomed to constantly be slow, unreliable and often changing terms. Not to mention leaving broken stuff all over fun-stuf ;-) A better solution, IMO, is to find a cheap web host that offers reasonable terms. My 2 cents - RJ
