Thanks, Merry, and good luck to you. Let us all know when the site is up and available again. Part of the problem is Earthlink's vision of what these free web pages are to be used for. I think they envision pages where you post photos of your kids or your vacation. Only grandparents would be interested, right? So access can be capped at 500 or 1000 hits a month. If so, then we could also fault the authors of the page for choosing the wrong medium to host their photographic images. Clearly there is a mismatch here between demand for access and the limitations of hosting. Earthlink was there first and established its ground rules. Let's hope they have a mechanism for granting exceptions where they are warranted.
