I am an idiot when it comes to the internet (outside of MMOGs - debatable).  Is there a way to get free blog space with my own URL?  I know Schild said something about it awhile back on F13.   





edit.  Forgot an e in Free.  Did not want to draw wrath from the grammar snake.  I live life a quarter mile at a time, but even I am not that crazy.

Hmmmm. HRMMMMM. I have to think about this with the new server being so strange. Have news by this coming monday. Sound good? AWESOME.

You don't even need anyone to answer you, do you?  You seem to do fine taking care of both sides of a conversation.  I wish I was happy with that.  It would make my life and the lives of those around me much easier.  I ALWAYS expect an answer and if I don't get on I just stand in one place shouting, "what?"  "WHAT???"  That and the fact that I stare at people is probably why I don't have any RL friends other than a couple of completely insane people what live in Woking and whatnot.

or try 'free blogging' on http://www.google.com (http://www.google.com)

I want a spot where I can upload my own html and not have funky ads floating around.

I know where Woking is.

Where is whatnot though?

I think it's a shop in Surbiton.

LiveJournal doesn't have ads unless you go with the Sponsored+ program, which gives you a little more freedom than the free version.  There are several layout templates and you can use a good deal of HTML in the actual posts.  Unless you go with the paid (and maybe sponsored) though, you'll have to host pictures elsewhere.

Blogger I don't know much about, but I don't recall seeing adds on the journal I've read there.

Or we can wait until Monday.  Hmmmm?

You still get your own url (www.livejournal.com/cheddarslameblog/) and I *believe* some of them can handle your domain (which is what I think you mean).. but since I have a web server for my blog, I haven't looked into it.

They now have it set up to work with cheddarslameblog.livejournal.com (http://cheddarslameblog.livejournal.com) as well.  One can always register a domain name and point it where ever they want really cheaply, too.

I am looking more into a easy to read URL, like www.cheddar.com.  Why would my blog be lame?  I know that my numerous fans are anxiously awaiting my words!

You'll have to talk to Viin about that.  I simply used the addy from the first example, then suggested the way to make it whatever you want.

Yea, that date was wrong. It's been pushed back "until it's ready." Unfortunately, there's no easy way of doing this on the new server though. Maybe we can figure something out. But it's not looking good.

After a while your avatar looks like it's just twitching.

kk just checking.  FYI, my new posts button thingamajiggy is not working.

Eh. What new posts button?

Works for me.

Which new posts button?

The yellow checkbox.  It was acting sporadic. 

The one at the top level doesn't work so well.

Holy shit. I never even know that was a link at all. Jesus. Color me shock and awed.
