I want to move my blog
Not sure where to yet. I'm looking at Multiply.com and msnspaces.
what I like about blogger
- easy to set up
- publishes to my private website (www.shiufamily.com)
- I can blog by email
Some things I don't like about blogger
- when people leave me comments, I get notified by email, but there's no indication as to which article they commented on and no link for me to reply. I just spent ten minutes trying to find my original article on travel places to visit, which someone has kindly commented on, and I couldn't find it on my own blog.
- the comments that others leave aren't easily visible on the blog. It makes the blog very 'me me me', whereas I'd much rather have an open discussion forum type, like wang jianshuo's (www.wangjianshuo.com)
- it's not easy for me to upload photos as part of articles. Apparently I can download Hello and use that to upload, but that sends each photo as another 'article'. Seems like a retro-fit. I know multiply's much better at this.
Any suggestions for where I can / should move to?

wang jianshuo is using Movable type (MT) for his blog. MT is no longer free but there is a current offer ending Sept 30 which enables you to download a free personal edition of MT. http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/pricing
I'm using Wordpress. It's free and was easy to install. If you have access to your cpanel and have permission to create MySql databases, you might want to try wordpress. www.wordpress.org
I think there is also textpattern. I'm not familiar with that though.
If you want to 'move' your blog to a free host, there is
http://blogsome.com
http://www.tabulas.com
as well as many others.
