Move?
Slowly but surely, I'm running out of space on blogspirit. Of course there's the possibility of subscribing to their services, but then I'd have to pay a monthly fee for more disk space (which is the most urgent thing) and for other services that I don't know what they are, nor if I need them. Now, I'm still studying, so that's my greatest reason for not paying for any of the stuff I'm using on the internets. That's why I'm thinking of moving my blog to somewhere with lots more disk space, and where I don't have to pay for whatever it is they offer. There's the question I'm asking myself: Should I get my own homepage (although I don't know much about stuff like html and other blogging-necessary things, let alone how to get a domain), or should I stick to a blog platform? Which platform is good? Anybody out there who can recommend a blog service? I heard that blogger is pretty good... I'm wondering if it would give me freedom of design, what I can do with photos (like, have a bunch of them at miniature size and display them as one picture), how hard a move would be at all (with importing/moving my stuff from here), and that kind of stuff.
So, I guess the question goes out to my readers... is anyone of you on blogger? Did anyone move their blog? Do you have any tips or recommendations? Feel free to leave a comment, or email me at knitfreak[at]web[dot]de. Your experiences are much appreciated!

Well, I told you about blogger. Now I'm not sure about the picture collage you're talking about. I'm sure you can also subscribe to Flickr and make something on there and post that to blogger.
You can actually pretty much edit the whole template on Blogger to suite your tastes...that is, if you have enough HTML knowledge to do so.
Livejournal is another consideration, but I don't think you have the freedom you'd have on blogger. The good thing I find about LJ is that it allows you to make "friends only" entries, which enables only people on your "friends list" to view that particular entry. The catch is, only LJ users can be added to your "friends"
Then there's blog.de, but I've never checked it out, so can't really help you with that.
All in all, I think Blogger is pretty breezy to use.

Blogger's very easy to use. I speak no html whatsoever, but I get by fine. There are horror stories about it losing your posts (not, I should add, after you've posted them, but in the doing so), wiping your template etc. but - touch wood - those are purely anecdotal for me so far! It does take a little while to upload pictures and sometimes you have to persist, but overall I'm pretty happy with it.
