I'm one year behind, too!! 14yrs old.
Yea, I started like everyone else, freewebs, tripod.
Then I moved on to
http://www.cafe150.com back in 2006 when they had 50 MB space. And more features.
I then used googlepages for a while, because of bigger space, but it had almost no features.
Then I discovered you. Thanks again!!
