Also, remember that there are a zillion places out there that are willing
to give you free space for your own site.  Building one can be as easy as
you wish (or as complex as you wish).

When my provider complained about excessive traffic on my site, I moved
all articles and images off site to a place that gives me free Web space
(there is a small advertising banner at the bottom of the page - not an
obnoxious, obtrusive popup like Geocities).

You can promote your own site, which will be much more fun than being part
of someone else's.
