As I'm sure some of you are aware, Yahoo recently decided to all but give up its groups section.
I host a group called Vintage Barefoot. It's a collection of photos of barefoot women of the past.
Do any of you know of any free web hosting services? Or do most of them charge fees? I'm considering turning this group into a website. Thanks in advance.

There are still a few free options: you can set up a group on Facebook, post them on Tumblr
(if there is no nudity), or on Flickr (if there is nudity), set up a webpage, etc.
The choice mainly depends on the audience you want to target.
Yet I have to draw your attention to one critical aspect, sir.
I guess that you took none of the pictures, and that you haven't acquired any rights on them.
The point is.. the fact that a picture is posted here and there by random dudes on internet,
does not imply that there is no copyright on it.
So if you publish it without permission by the copyright holder,
you are violating his/her rights, and he/she can - in theory at least - take legal action against you.
Now.. I know too well that most of you dudes ignore the very existence of copyright,
or even in case you are aware of it, you could not care less about it.
And yes, most of the times nobody will complain, you will experience no nuisance,
and you will be regarded as a hero by the many folks surfing the web for free foot-related stuff.
Yet the chances that a copyright holder will bust your ass because you are posting copyrighted
stuff without permission can be limited.. but they are not equal to zero.
Now.. you decide..

I'd say my photos re about 50/50 (copyrighted/public domain). And yes, there's some nudity, but most of it is just feet.

You are most welcome! You surely know that, but Facebook applies its darn "community standards"
in pretty a weird way as far as bare feet are concerned.
I have a profile on FB, but I have stopped posting promotional pictures from my
BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS site there, because they got systematically reported and deleted.
Well.. I have got my share of haters on internet, and also on FB..
