Blogging from your own domain... like me!

Notice the domain name of this blog: http://blog.snagy.name

I decided that I would host the blog on my site, rather than go with a free one hosted elsewhere.
I knew this would be a risk-ladden (the risk being serious loss of time) task and not one that I could justify as a good use of my time (especially to my wife who still doesn't have a fully tiled toilet; the toilet bowl is currently in the shower! How's that for water saving...)

As usual, GOOGLE came to the rescue. Their blogging site (www.blogger.com) is free, but better yet, it lets you host your blog at your own location. It's as easy as naming your blog, and specifying an FTP server, username, and password. Oh, and picking a theme.

So when you post a comment, you use the blogger portal. I post a new blog entry, I use the blogger portal. When I click "Publish" it FTP's a static HTML page to my FTP server. It's that easy, trust me.

I'll prove it. Here, I'll click the "Publish" button now...
