Carla, I have a community on msn and I haven't had any trouble at all, it has picture albums, and you can do all kinds of things. If you want to look at mine its http://communities.msn.com/fortheloveofdogs
I kept my Homestead, but it did cost me 29.95, but I think I will just let it expire. Too many free places to go to. I tried Geocities, but it was too complicated for me.
