You must have fairly decent graphic-making skills. I'm not amazing, so I'm not expecting Picasso, but if you use MS Paint, or make layouts including cartoon dolls then I won't host you, sorry.
If you can't make your own layouts, don't apply.
You must know FTP; I'm afraid I don't have the time to teach you.
Please no .mp3s, or .bmps! They eat up bandwidth like crazy.
Please link back to me somewhere on your site!
Use the space for your website; this isn't a webstore.
Your site MUST be in English.
UPDATE IT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH but preferably more than that. If you don't, I'll just delete you outright; I won't email you warning you.
If you have a genuine reason why you can't, or you just feel like having a break, email me or comment on my blog and let me know. This is so that I don't think you've abandoned the site & delete it.
If you're going on hiatus, tell me.
As I said earlier, it's so I don't think you've ditched the site & delete it.
You must have some form of commenting system. Greymatter, Wordpress, Cutenews - they're all perfect. I'll even settle for haloscan or enetation if you blog manually. Tagboards are only allowed on challenge sites [blend or colourize].
I can install Wordpress, b2evolution or Pivot for you, but I can not customise them.
When it says 'where?' on the application form, say 'East 12th St' so I know you've read these.
I'd appreciate a visit from you every now and again & for you to leave me a comment. It's only common courtesy since I'm paying for your website.
You must send in some proof of HTML AND graphic-making knowledge. MySpace does not count.
With the graphic-making knowledge, I'd like to see at least THREE layouts you have made, if possible.
But if that's a problem, let me know on the form. :)
If there's a problem with anything, let me know and I'll do my best to straighten it out.
PLEASE give me a rough estimate of how long it will take to build your site. I usually say about 2 weeks, but I'd like to know. :)
I usually only make FTP accounts on weekends, because I'm busy with university during the week. If you don't hear back from me by the following weekend, it's a no, unless my site is on hiatus [open or closed] when it may take longer.
PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME ASKING IF YOU'VE BEEN ACCEPTED.
IMPORTANT! I no longer host fansites or hatelistings. Fansites take up too much space and hatelistings attract drama.
I will not host any fanlistings on subjects I don't like, nor will I host cartoon doll sites. Fanlistings will be at http://fan.girlcalledkill.org/you.
Now that you've read all of that, you can actually apply. Good luck. =)
