I built mine from scratch with Dreamweaver and got my IP from Inexpensivedomains.com. It runs off a friends server.
I also think you should reconsdier the music - unless you limit it's use to a page or two for a special effect. Otherwise it is annoying. People will be choosing the pics they like to view but they won't be able to choose the music and your taste may not be the same as thiers.

Ok, good to know. Music is not on it yet and will not be on it.
I just decided a quick search for some free ones or find anything cheap.

The free one there, I just don't really know what to look for or what anything is ha ha. Is that place reliable? What does that really offer? It's foreign language to me. lol
Just looking for something to post my site of my pictures and possibly add a couple here and there as I take more.
I bought a new macbook pro and played with iWeb. I also need to know I guess if it matters if certain places will even host this? I'm unsure of if websites made with iWeb are different formats or something?
Thanks.
Oh, also while I'm on here... I wanted to ask about macro photography for our aquariums. I used a tripod and snapped a few of some corals, they look good, but the lighting is somewhat dark and a tad grainy. I'm assuming I can just adjust the shutter even lower to bring the brightness up (or photoshop), but will that reduce the grain? I used ISO of 100, something like 30-50 shutter, and jpeg on accident. Would raw fix that?

At ISO 100 it shouldn't be grainy. That is usually the best/lowest you can go (though some camera's have a custom function to get ISO 50). What camera are you using?
If you used a low quality settting for the JPG you'll get a lot of artifacts. Maybe that was the decreased quality you were seeing and not noise? Also smoe cameras do much better with noise in dark or shadowed areas than others.
There are some good programs to reduce noise like Noise Ninja. It's been a while since I've needed that though so there may be better ones now.
And yes, a longer shutter speed should give you a brighter shot. You are better off getting the exposure right in the camera than trying to make up for it in PS.

Free hosting plans (like the one you give) pay for themselves by putting ads onto your site. I couldn't find any details about how Bravenet does it but, from a user perspective, many of the free sites are very irritating and discourage me from returning. They also limit you to 50MB of disc space which is very little for a photosite. If you want to post a site for more than sharing a few photos with friends, it might be worth investing some cash to get one. I use 'hostmonster.com' and am pleased with it. But, as beerguy said, there are hundreds of equally good hosting sites.
If you just want to post photos, you might also look into Flickr or similar sites. They provide free photo hosting with no ads. There are some limits but they seem pretty popular. But, they are not a web site hosting company.

The 30D should have almost no noise at 100 ISO. Are you sure it's noise? Are you sure it was 100 ISO? Seems strange.
I alsojust remembered that my cable company offers me some amount of server space for a website with my cable/internet package (or at least they used too). Is that an option where you are?
The only downside was the name would be "mycablecompany.mysitename.com. If that isn't an issue for you and it is available it might be a nice solution to avoid the ads as mentioned. You'll need a program to build the site though.

Can't do either of the above. I think it was probably the jpeg format. I took some today with RAW and mega differences.
It always pops up I have a 60 day free trial of mobileme, but after that it's 99/year. I would use it for the 60 days, but somehow I imagine that I'd get billed right away for 99$. :lol:
