I want to make a home page. I’ve heard of [homestead.com](http://homestead.com) through a search. I can’t download. Does anyone have any suggestions? It’s late and I’ve been up for a while, so forgive me for any mispelled word or if I don’t make sense. I might try homestead, now. And please, give me some things I could put in my page. I don’t have a scanner, yet. Who is Boo Boo? ---

Assuming you mean “as used on this board”: “Boo Boo” is a pet name for **BratMan007** , another SDMB poster. ---

If you’re not sure about homestead, you can check out other free providers. I use crosswinds. net. Other providers are [geocities.com](http://geocities.com), um, that’s the only one I remember. Check here for more: [http://thefreesite.com/Free\_Web\_Space/](http://thefreesite.com/Free_Web_Space/). Your ISP probably offers webspace, too. As to what to put on it–make a page about something interesting to _you_. A fan page of your favorite [musical artist/book/author/movie/TV show], a hobby page, a page promoting/providing information on your pet cause, etc. If you’re not interested in it, you’ll end up finding it too much of a chore to keep it up (sometimes even if you _are_ interested). ---

Thanks. How did Brat get the name Boo Boo? Any way I made the home page. the address is [http://homestead.com/chick1977/randyroshelle.html](http://homestead.com/chick1977/randyroshelle.html) I’m sorry it sucks. But I’m tird and I need a man. I’m cute. I don’t know what the problem is. Please, visit my page? ---

I highly recommend [Freeservers.com](http://Freeservers.com) ( http//www.freeservers.com ). You get 20 MB space, no pop-up windows (although you do get ads at the top of your pages), easy to use utilities, and a semi-customizable domain name (ex: [http://cybermage.freeservers.com](http://cybermage.freeservers.com) ) Just my $0.02 worth for ya. ---

Something smells like bullshit. I don’t think it’s my upper lip. ---
