For those who have or had websites, which route did you go did you use a free provider or a pay for provider?  Which provider did you use?  Is there a benefit of one over the other?  Also when I am fishing by myself and want to take a picture to put on the website whats the best way to take the picture but keeping it good/professional looking?  Thanks  

Pay for a host...the quality speaks for itself. Free hosts will plaster advertisements and/or limit functionality. Check out lunarpages.com they have the best service and prices (for what you get..there is cheaper, but much more limited).

I take pics often when Im by myself and I put the front pedestal/bike seat on the back deck and just use the timer on the camera. My wife actually questions me about who was on the boat with some of the pics Ive taken this way.  ;D
