Actually, that much was already obvious enough, to me anyway. Just took some 
long looks before I could imagine what might actually be changed then that's 
where I began to get confused.

There's a lot of breaking it down into subcategories I hadn't realized might 
be happening with this reorganization idea when I first read it here. So 
many different things. I started imagining web pages nested a dozen deep to 
get to a final destination!

Thanks for delving into that to change those to my more permanent ISP. I was 
willing to wait for any options made to everyone for making or submitting 
changes ourselves, supposing that might happen someday. Doubt I'll ever have 
another ISP in this decade or the next so maybe that won't be needing 
another change again. I've opted to get a domain and web host to mirror 
stuff onto this time with the hopes both won't get abandoned.

Not sure I have any input concerning this right now... maybe...

One of my People Page's links (omniverse) has a POV-Ring junction on the 
page, almost exclusively unless you read the fine print there, with the 
links to the rest of my site embedded into an image. My site(s) can be a 
haphazard mess to stumble into. I know many, many people are joined to that 
ring or others but I must wonder of the vast majority of people who aren't. 
It all comes down to the willingness to add those links to their own site or 
whether they might prefer to only connect up at povray.org, so to speak. I 
can understand the difficulty involved for the maintainer of this site if 
the additional workload of fielding and editing submissions from whatever 
there is to submit, so maybe that (personal pages, like blogs, galleries, 
shared files, info) should be considered as limited if done at all. In other 
words, I don't really have any constructive ideas on the topic I'm just 
rambling. :)
