I guess the main point I’m trying to make (and not doing such a good job about
it) is that we’re trying to come up with ways to help pay for Brickshelf without
having all of the costs coming out of the owner’s pocket directly. The ideal
system I envision would hopefully be cheaper and easier/less technical than
getting a domain name & paying for website hosting.

I’d be suprised if anyone started out as a serious ALE. When I first got into
building, I’d have never paid to show pictures on Brickshelf. I just wouldn’t
have shared my creations. And not sharing my creations means that I might not
have grown as a builder. (Well *I* might have, as I’d probably have gotten
feedback from MichLUG members, but not every person getting into the hobby
has an active club near them.)

Ok, then to accomodate a wider audience, maybe one of the packages you could get
from Brickshelf would be free - with a smaller storage limit and none of the
“special” features obviously.
Well, I’m not Kevin so I can’t say what will be included and what won’t be, but
let’s just keep tossing ideas around!
