I wish...

...I had somewhere to archive this blog for free. I'd like to clear off my web space here and use it for other things. These days I've found myself using blogger more and more. Especially now that all my reasons for not wanting to rely on it have gone since it's folding into google.

1. The naff blogspot banner with adverts was replaced with a perfectably acceptable non-ad bearing narrow strip.

2. It's stable now - it's never eaten a post on me. Years ago I read of people complaining of blogger eating their posts - that just doesn't happen anymore.

3. They let you upload pictures now.

4. It has a spell checker!

5. Although I don't get many comments anymore - at least with blogger I don't have to moderate the comments like I have to here for fear of comment spammers running rampage like they have here. Which has the knock-on effect of killing off any comments whatsoever now...

6. no worries about bandwidth and using up all your webspace (my host seems positively stingy nowadays and they charge extra for mySQL so I can't do a dynamic blog -so can't try out the blogging tools the other kids are using. Being stuck with static html pages - thousands and thousands of them is a right royal pain in da butt.)

Actually the only thing that puts me off now is the default blogger templates - I know you can modify them - but I have a hard time with CSS and all that stupid coding nonsense. I just haven't got that sort of a brain. Oh and not being able to have your own favicon.

Um - and so. There is is...
