Hey everyone!
I'm getting ready to resume my River City Wrestling circuit. Probably another month or so.
One thing I would like to do though, since many of my wrestlers are created is to do up some A.I. pics of them.
I think it would help to have the visuals, small thumbnails.
I know at least one circuit posted here used some thumbs.
What's a good hosting site that I can also use to post/link here?
Thanks for any advice to make this smooth.

When I was using fictional wrestlers I got AI to create some of the pictures to add more to it the online AI creator I used was: perchance.org/ai-text-to-image-generatorit's free, unlimited and no sign up The best setting I found was "concept art" under "art style" but play around with stuff yourself for sure. As for web hosting, I know TNMUK uses freehostia.com, but that only gives you 250mb of space, which when you start adding pictures it can run low quickly. I have been using AwardSpace.com they have been around since 2003. If you're unsure of how to make a website, the latest app I found which is easy to use is none other than: getpublii.com/It's the blog style website that I got, but it creates stuff without having to code and it's standards compliant (HTML5 / CSS3) plus optimized for all different screens like mobile and regular without you having to do extra coding. As much as I miss my older site that I use to create, the program I used is out of date, and it required me to have to get two or sometimes three other programs in order to get things done the way I want it done (like photo galleries etc) It's a rather straight forward program plus it doesn't have databases or anything like wordpress so it's a bunch more secure. Hope that answers your questions |

No problem about the information.
One thing I just learned, so I have a few sites created using that Publii program I mentioned above including an old site I started back in 2003ish which is roughly when I started my circuit/efed. But I recently turned one site into a photo gallery because I didn't know what else to do with it. It turns out I hit just shy of 900mb for space which is almost everything on AwardSpace so I thought I would move the site elsewhere. It seems that Publii program isn't friendly when it comes to many other hosts, and it's slow to upload which caused me to go back to my original method of creating sites: Expressions Web 4 which is also freeware, and it's the latest incarnation of Frontpage even though it hasn't been updated since 2010. My own issue with it is that I personally have trouble creating sites that look good on all screen sizes but nothing I can do about that.
I know that no matter what I use isn't going to be around forever and may not work with everything I run in the future. I'm aware of this, I have thought about trying to learn WordPress. But I also know WordPress is more than just HTML it's also SQL and PHP plus I'm unsure if I want to learn anything new at this point for something that I consider a hobby.
A few last thoughts..
1 - I don't think HTML is going to vanish anytime soon because even basic knowledge of it will help you with WordPress from what I'm told, as it's the foundation of basically every site. It just the program I use that I get concerned about which leads me to #2
2 - I try not to put too much thought about if the program is going to run in the future as in Expressions Web, I say that for many reasons, in my years I've seen programs come and go. Any program can go away tomorrow.

@lillathrilla - I remember back in the day many efeds/circuits would use a program called Poser (https://www.posersoftware.com/) However I don't know many people who would want to drop $250 on a hobby to create photos for fictional people.

Particularly the outfits. Yes. You need to practice your prompts. However, unless you have a paid account with some services, it has no memory, so its really hard to go back later and get more pics that look like the same person. Also it seems to have difficulty with the ring, they give various number of ropes. But I generated a lot of pics and just keep a few, and crop them as well. Like KWOADA said, unless you want to use real people its a good alternative. Plus it will just keep getting better. |

Okay, then Publii is no doubt the better option since it doesn't require coding. At basics if you want to add more colour to it that would require some coding, but the basic site would do just fine
