One other question if the portfolio items I have made but do not have them uploaded because they were made for someone not on this service, am I still allowed to post it I did all the work myself. plus my web content I have created is live. will there be any issues with that? It is my portfolio but do not want to get in trouble for potentially advertising other sites.
