Looks like your off to a good start.
Got to hate those popups though. Luckily I use PopUpCop that stops them completely. That's the bad side effect of using Tripod. Occasionally I run across a site that just doesn't work without them, I just don't ever go back.
If you have broadband, think about hosting your own site. The biggest draw back, at least for me, that, is that the uplink is limited to 0.5mps. It really doesn't matter too much unless someone downloads larger files. On the average they will get 45 Kps if they are alone downloading. I'm not really looking for much traffic at my site anyway.
If anyone would like to see it, they can find it here:

Not much there at the moment, I put it together in hour and a half, including the web server. Actually the web server only took 4 minutes to download from the web and get running.
