the thing i love most is being able to edit my html/css right there on the site, without having to use an editor and go back and re-upload and all that bullshit. if anyone is using K2, here is the code for removing the comments (any mention of them, not just to say that comments are off.) it's as simple as commenting out the code that calls the comments:
<!-- <?php /* Comments */ comments_popup_link('0 <span>'.__('Comments','k2_domain').'</span>', '1 <span>'.__('Comment','k2_domain').'</span>', '% <span>'.__('Comments','k2_domain').'</span>', 'commentslink', '<span class="commentslink">'.__('Closed','k2_domain').'</span>'); ?>-->
it's about 2/3rds down the page "theloop.php" (i know commenting out sometimes makes for sloppy code, but i'd rather comment something out and be able to bring it back if i want, than deleting it and being fucked later, haha) |

also, wow@1000gb of transfer for $6.99, that is awesome
for my site (portfolio) i have 1.5gb storage & 40gb transfer for $8.95 and i thought THAT was good. i barely use any of that, and since i started using photobucket to host pictures it's become even less.
pro photobucket accounts are ONLY $25 a year, and it saves you from a lot of bandwidth troubles on your site, since you'd only be using your space to host the files and site. people will look at all the photos you have on a site, but may only download a few files??
if you run a site, and can't pony up $9 a month to host it, then you need a better job. don't expect other people to pay for your hobby fools!
it's not rocket science...

i gotta say, since making the move to freesite only content (i've adopted this into my game as well) it's really opened my eyes to some wonderful content.
eliminating paysites/ free/pay sites forces you to look harder for stuff, and makes you appreciate it way more.
to be honest i don't really even miss most of the stuff anymore! Yay! This is what we want for others too - that they find that wonderful free content that goes neglected in favour of the heavily linked pay crap that comes up the top of google.  That being said, if you ever lack for some good freesite stuff, you only have to ask, and you'll have at least 20 pirates finding stuff for you. :lol: that rocks so much though i think it'll be practically impossible to be lacking in good free stuff if what i have downloaded in the last week is anything to go by, lol. i deleted all the pay crap and promptly filled it all up with free stuff, um, to the point that i had to increase the size of my c drive to accomodate it.. dang. lol |

I'm helping out I See Drones with that freestuff e-zine idea. And this is a room I'm considering putting up as part of it:  It was a pain in the butt filling those shelves with content from 100%-free-site objects hah! But I think it looks okay. Also, Nouk, I love that new hair. Love, love. (Edit: crap I just realized the ceiling light is from Roansims, so that will have to change.) sweet! it looks great |

i sortof agree, while i understand totally what calalily means.
but a free item is still a free item, ya know?
i'll take care of all the 'getting it all online' stuff, with hosting and updates and everything and if people find things but don't really want to make them into a setting, thats cool, just point me in the direction and i'll do it, no drama!
please, if anyone would like to help me out, just pm me (i don't want to saturate this thread with my shit any more than i have already - apologies!! lol) so yeah, pm me or email me (sarah at sixty-ten dot net).
i would be eternally grateful!
this is still in its infancy, and i really still need to figure a few things out, but i'd love to get the first issue/get it all up online in the next month!
p.s i'm thinking a nice wee addition to the site i set up would be a sweet freesite feature blog type thing - with links and pictures and stuff as a suppliment - like if we find a sweet FREESITE (not paysite, lol) it's worthwhile to feature it - give them some love. i think it would be fair for this section to be ONLY for 100% free sites, because they deserve our love more than the free/pay sites!

Hey if you need it, or the way to do it, I can send it over. That would be GREAT! I could use something to suck all my categories into some semblance of order. I will PM you my email address. And drones, I looked at your Wordpress blog, and am impressed. I wonder how you managed to rid yourself of the standard Wordpress Bloatware? with k2 (and i assume most other wordpress themes) you can modify the html/css very hevily. a lot of the important stuff is in 'the loop' which you can get to via the theme editor. the k2 forums are VERY helpful, so using them and the wordpress support site thingo, you can basically do anything you want.. i think in a nutshell, i just figured all the crap i didn't want (search, comments, archives etc) and tried to find them in i think its theloop.php and deleted them! then its a heavily modified css file and there you have it.. i'm sorry, i'm not very helpful i know haha. its just a matter of looking closely through the html and deleting the shit you don't need. and there is sooo much shit you don't need in wordpress, but if you can wrangle it to do what you want, it's super awes! |

very very good points
My personal view is that if you include free things from paysites, then you could be forfeiting something that if you looked, could be found in a freesite. Not to mention that it saves you from the whole "well no one would want it without the TSR window set"
this point is a very good one, though with the TSR window set thingy, it wouldn't be a problem, because everything in a picture - walls floors windows doors evvvverything would be freely available (for free, obviously) so you could get around that. just because something comes in a 'set' doesn't necessarily mean it has to go with that set all the time right! i do agree with your point about just looking for something that could be found on a freesite, it's a great idea. i think i'll definitely need to wrangle in a few people to help me out sooner rather than later, hehe.
Not to mention that if you put it out to freesite owners that you would like say postmodern rooms, then they might help you by pointing out theirs' or someone else's appropriate content.
i really like this idea, and it was something i was thinking about, getting people to point out content for the project. i love the idea that it's all unsolicited, you know, just referrals and stuff, word of mouth is the best! there could be a 'suggest a site' or even just 'suggest an object' type form somewhere on the sitewhere people can make suggestions, i think that would work very well. i don't want to make it too involved, just a nice site/catalogue thing which grows every month to show off all the fabulous content that is freeeee! |
