If anyone is interested in using a layout for their roleplays but aren't html savvy, you can download Microsoft Frontpage 2003 from here for free. It includes the activation key and is from an actual university website (presumably only for use by their students, haha), so it's safe. It's out of date, but it's free and will more than serve its purpose for all your e-fed needs.
Edit: I can also put a layout together for you to edit in Frontpage. I made the one I use for Momo and Rok-C, as well as the one used for Jamie Hayter. It would be up to you to provide links to images you want used. Note, I do not do graphics work. That's a different guy. I just put together simple layouts for you to play inside the lines of.
Edit 2: Changing the subject line of the post to a more general "RPing on a layout" theme since we're talking about free website and image hosting now, haha.
Edit 3: Moving all suggested links to this post so folks don't have to go searching for them.
Frontpage Express 2003 - free website builder
www.geocities.ws - free web hosting
www.neocities.org/ - free web hosting
www.imgbb.com - free image hosting
www.remove.bg - if you need to make a render by removing the background of a photo
www.photopea.com - if you're wild enough to try out a free, online version of Photoshop
www.flamingtext.com - if you need to make some free text logos

Also, if you need a host site - www.geocities.ws is the updated version of the old Geocities site old timers used to use "back in the day," and it's pretty self-explanatory to use and upload your Frontpage files to ETA: Here are some other useful sites www.imgbb.com - free image hosting www.remove.bg - if you need to make a render by removing the background of a photo www.photopea.com - if you're wild enough to try out a free, online version of Photoshop www.flamingtext.com - if you need to make some free text logos (I did the ones on my roster profile from this site) |

There is also neocities.org/ for another free hosting option. I've used this one before and it's ad free and fairly simple to use once you get used to the non-traditional interface. |

Asking for a friend who had a Kurt angle fan site back in the day…haha…a friend did… It's still around, not sure how much you can do with it these days without paying, though. I know OG geocities is dead. Tripod is still around, too, but it doesn't have the traditional uploader anymore, so it's a little more complicated. If you still have access to any of your old accounts, though, those are still grandfathered in with all the old gimmicks. |

I was able to access my old Tripod accounts and find RPs and layouts from 20 years ago. I know there's been some Angelfire links pop up over the years, too. It's odd how some of them are still there and some aren't. The fwrestling host site is like that, too, as 80% of everyone's stuff is still there and some of the stuff is gone. |

I remember back in the day, there was an HTML code you could put into your page and it would remove the ads. |

This is really interesting. I might try something like this. I know the words matter the most when RP'ing, but there is a certain aesthetic that I envision that I could never achieve on proboards. I used to build sites back in the day, but its lost on me nowadays. Thank you for sharing!

Of course, the words are always the most important aspect of any roleplay, but there's not much that gets me more hyped to RP than a clean layout with some nice graphics, haha. |
