Portals

I noticed it says a multitude of portals is possible. Is 60 a multitude? Can I have 60 Portals? I know what you're thinking, why would I need 60 portals. Well I need one for each of the 50 states and then some stores and some other info

Where are you seeing 60 multitude? The only limit I see is here Portal Modules: 119 modules in addition of the available ones (News, Recent_topic, Search, Poll, Who is online, Statistics)

I'm going to go ahead and sound really stupid here but I looked everywhere trying to find out what a module is and I really do not know. Is it a page? or is it similar to a widget? maybe I will not need that many? Another question if my gallery became really big could I buy up to 30 bytes of memory for it?

Portal is like a place where you can put info. Like Widgets for links, latest post, or whatever you want. Just need to mess around with it.

For storage you can look by going into the Misc tab and click spend credits.
