KnitFreak

The time has come.

I'm finally saying goodbye to knitfreak.

You will find my new blog here, at d.knit. So far it's still pretty empty there, and don't let the banner freak you out, I just felt like something fresh. 

Hope to see you all over there at the new place!

Thank you for your comments on the Move! It does help a lot to hear various opinions on that topic.

Now, there are a few more things bothering me: when I move, should I make a fresh and new blog and start from zero, or should I try and keep all my knitfreak-postings? And if I want to keep what I wrote so far, how can I move all that to the new blog?

Geez, I think moving house is easier (and less effort) than moving blogs...

P.S.: France won last night (1:0), and will play Italy on Sunday in the finals. Allez les bleus! 

"Allez les bleus!"* is what the French fans shout to cheer their team on. They are playing against Portugal here in Munich tonight, and I hope they make it to the finals on Sunday!

 ALLEZ LES BLEUS!

* Les Bleus is the nickname of the French football team, meaning The Blues. So, the fans shout "Go Blues!"

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!
