True. The problem with the "competition" angle was trying to find
the proper balance. Common logos, banners, and navigation tend
to help this, but, as you said, it can still make the site look kind of
patch-work and discontinuous in the end.

I've found that the only 100% effective way around the pop-up
window, ads, slow connections, etc. problem is to pay for a real
hosting service. I personally use Burlee (www.burlee.com). They've
got a pretty good plan ($12.95/m for unlimited space, 25 e-mails)
that I use and I've been happy with it. If paying a little bit for the
site is an option, this is a pretty good deal.
