blog.com sucks, even tho it’s free
Sorry about the blog problems… It seems all my images from the folders inside my blog.com account have vanished/failed, and therefore no images are loading, including the banner. Thus my blog looks weirdly grey and blank.
I have everything backed-up in my laptop at home, of course, but now I’m stuck in the office, and can’t do anything to fix it. I’m not sure if re-uploading will even work, however, as I’ve had problems trying to upload new material before. Perhaps best to abandon this crappy blog service as soon as I decide on an alternative. Grrrrr!
Any suggestions? I’m a total Google-phile, so Blogger is the obvious answer, except that blogspot and blogger domains are blocked in China. And the same goes for the free Wordpress and Typepad blogs. What with blog.com’s crappiness and the Great Firewall, I am truly stuck between a rock and a hard place…

I’m fairly content with Opera’s free blog hosting for my personal blogging needs (you don’t need to use Opera’s browser to host there). They only give you 300M of space, though, if that’s a concern. It’s much better than LiveJournal (which I abandoned long before the blockage), and I haven’t had much luck with getting consistent results from any of the Chinese blog providers. I’m not sure about ads.
thanks for the tip. i’m checking out your blog, and the opera blog service, right now.

I like your blog and most friends of mine on EbonyFriends.com also like your blog. We hope you can fix it up quickly.
how utterly random that the last comment ever on this blog (well, apart from this one) should be spam! oh well…!
