I am curious to know how many FReepers have their own websites that they have to (or want to)contend with. I was thinking that if others have a website that we could exchange "buttons" to crosslink our sites. (a "button" is what I call a small (100 x 35 pixel) gif that links to a given site) Any FReepers interested in exchanging buttons? I post yours, you post mine? I put a "ButtonMania" table on my site and it looks pretty empty at the moment. (of course, it has only been up for about six hours)
I specifically did not post my site's URL because I don't want to risk my FR membership or appear to be "sneaking an ad" into FR. I know that would cheese me off if others posted ads here. If you email me I will send you the site url and/or the HTML code to insert my button into your site, and you can use that code as a template to send me code for your own site. All comments on this idea are appreciated.
Anyone else interested in either joining/promoting this category to a individual (.gif) link or getting a different link on the FR opening page? Jim will get a % of the proceeds and FReepers could do biz with other FReepers. The current link seems to just be promoting bumperstrips, T-shirts.... basically FR logo type stuff. Not exactly a marketplace environment.
Any ideas or insight on this?
However, without being able to get linked anywhere, the number of hits I am getting is dismal. Heck, I've even lost heart in posting new editorials; no one reads them, except for the 1 I'm allowed to post in the local rag every 2 months! And it never fails that after I get notice that I'm going to be published, another story breaks that I would have rather written about.
Please keep me informed about any developments on this, and yes, I'd be happy to add people to my link page, if their pages fit in with my goals for my page. I'm pretty sure that most of the people here would.

I will be dragging out the CC tonight ordering a copy. But this takes me back to my point. We (FReepers) should be doing business with each other. If it were not for this thread I would have never heard of this book.
