Linking to The FreeHand Source

Everyone hates rules, including me. But there are a few rules that I please ask of you when creating a link to The FreeHand Source from your site:

  1. If you link directly to any pages within the site (Tips for example), please provide an additional link to the front-end of the site (http://www.FreeHandSource.com). It's always nice for new visitors to see the rest of the site too. Use something like "from The FreeHand Source".
  2. All materials in this site are Copyright ©1998-2000 Ian Kelleigh except where noted. You cannot reproduce any text or graphics created in this site without my permission.
  3. Finally, I do not make any money from this site so why should you? If you do link to any information contained in this site, you cannot be making any money during the process. For example, you cannot make someone sign up for a subscription in order to see links to my site.

You don't have to e-mail me for permission to link to my site, I just ask that you please follow those basic rules. Thank you.
