Free Site Question

[pocahontas]

I am planning on starting my own single girl site.

But while I am shooting the content I want to start a free site. I was thinking of a cross between a tgp and mini gallery site and link list. I was even thinking about a rate this model contest where my girlfriends could model the surfer would select the best for the month and I would pay the winner a prize and she would do a full photo shoot for the site.

I am really trying to learn the system and I figure that this would be the best way to do it.

Looking for advice please
