I have a lil website on geocities. My whole site is copy and paste backgrounds and .gifs.

http://www.geocities.com/qt_angelpie/home.html

Now this was bad because I found out I was remote loading.

I would like to know where do I move my site to so I am not breaking any rules w/ my site.

I am not a pro by any means and dont know turkey poo about a lot of stuff. I am here to learn.

Maybe there is no way to run a site like mine. But if there is can someone tell me how?

Thanks~

If the issue is space (i.e. not enough of it on GeoCities), then either sign up for multiple GeoCities accounts... (I believe that's legal)... Or move to one of the larger free providers. http://www.nbci.com gives unlimited space.

The issue is not space from what I can see. The issue is bandwidth. When you tell someone to load their backgrounds from your site, they are stealing bandwidth. This means that Geocities' resources are being used without their ads being seen and is "illegal" at just about any free webspace provider.

You should be telling visitors to right click and save the images to their own computers and then uploading them with their page to their own webspace provider.
