First...Thanks again for all the info

I just got my new check card and I am going to get me some hosting. I think I'm gonna go with a virtual account even though I have always used shared. I think it would be best, since I'm serious about this, to act like a big boy and get a big boy hosting account.

I will be looking into the hosting suggested by Lee and Basschick.

As far as blogging and/or free sites...I think I'm gonna take Lee's advice and go with one page free sites, get situated and then add blogging to my portfolio. the only worry I have is that most blogs are nothing more than repositories for vid clips, I should know, I have a few fav's that I download clips from all the time. The thing is, it is very easy to find a site that has enough clips to get you off, so why goto one of the sponsors and get a membership?

At least with a free site you just giving them a taste of what's to come...at least that's my opinion.

As to affiliates who don't want to work...very true and even some sponsors are the same, I however, am not one of those people. how many folks do you know would put in 7 to 10 hours a day for over three years, only to earn roughly $100 a year and still be adimit about be an adult webmaster.

Hard as try to get away from this industry, something tells me I am supposed to be doing this. I just wish I had found this website sooner.

I will be successful with hard work, determination and the help of the great folks who gather at this site.

Thanks again
