    Pictures at "mates rates" or even for free?

    I'd just charge for prints in fairness. If something is going to cost you money or materials etc.. for a free shoot id get the friend to cover that cost. I've done some free shoots and friends always expected they would get others free and take the Micky. You have to watch as well they don't...

    Mr Site and Similar

    Ive seen a few sites use MrSite. Is she more focused on selling then showing or showing rather then selling? As i can see MrSite is more of a "Shop" software site then a showcase.

    Free Web Templates

    Free templates fall under 'free to use' license meaning you can do what you like with that template but not to resell that template. A creative license, I'll look tomorrow for more of a reply to this. (currently on phone) If there is nothing to say you can not use the images I wouldn't worry...

    Resizing quailty
