I understand they'll take donations. I've got some dog-poop bags if anyone needs a couple.

John, the link isn’t working. It says “bad request”

I wonder why because you’re pics usually come through.


Since that link is pointing to his Cox email box you may need to be
logged in to see it.
You know web space is really getting cheap. It is worth having your
own domain and avoiding all of this stuff. Watch for deals. I have my
2 domains at $145 each for 3 years prepaid at InMotion. (moved from
Web.Com). You just have to wait for that deal to come back around but
they all do things like that. I get Email and more web space than you
could ever use. (they say unlimited but I bet that's not right)
With your own domain and Email you are not at the mercy of another
company changing the rules on you and there are no ad pop ups or
tracking cookies for your users. You can even use this for cloud
storage and password protect it if you like.


Looks like the best they have now is about $144 for two years.


Look around, that is high. You don't need the business package but
they open with that. I just want FTP support. You can make a basic web
page with Word or even an Email client that can export HTML. Call it
index.htm and put one in each folder. One of the right clicks in word
is add a link. You use that to connect your pages and apply it to any
text string or picture (button)
It is really easy stuff if you don't want fancy.
If you don't want the world to see a directory, don't create a link to
it anywhere, that is how Google finds you. You just have to type the
absolute address to get there. Don't make it an easy thing to guess
and you are pretty hard to find.
