Char, just so you know, most ISPS give you some free server space with your account, so you are not dependent on a free site (which doesn't keep things indefinitely and may not be here 6 months from now). Rogers is a pretty big outfit, and a major ISP. I'd bet you have space just waiting for you to use it. You might want to inquire about it. You usually get a fixed amount, something like 5mb. That won't be enough for multiple mp3s, but it would hold a decent number of pictures. If you don't have anything written from them, just call them. You will need to use FTP to store your files (using your normal userid and password), and you would reference them on their site (something like http://rogers.com/lightfootfan (or whatever your email id is) and then / and the filename. You will have to check with them for the exact way to reference it. You "should" have an FTP program on your PC somewhere; in fact, recent (and not so recent) versions of IE have FTP built-in. (Before you get intimidated, let me tell you that both Cathy and Hamilton Camp proved very adept at storing and retrieving files from IE. If they can do it, you can).
