I am FED UP with the technical problems at Blogger: I think it must be run by hamsters.

Can anyone rec a free blog hosting service they like?

Send any suggestions to brinkemailgmail.com, and thanks.

Welcome to the club. But maybe you need to switch to something paid? Free service is often bad. http://www.typepad.com

(I'm posting my suggestion here instead of emailing you so that others may benefit from tips made.)

yes, I use typepad.com.. its cheap....its a good blog platform.

Hm why not install your own one? I like and use wordPress

I think that WordPress is very good. If you don't want/can't afford/be bothered to host your own then http://wordpress.com is very good.

You are changing platforms?! I thought you built this yourself. Or is this another Blogger blog in disguise?

Brinke you can even import your blogger stuff

I like the look of wordpress a lot. i do have a few queries;

*it imported the photos from blogger fine. but new photo posts show tiny images, not full size. why?

*how do you add HTML?

*there looks to be a way to add sub pages, but it doesn;t seem to work;
'write page,' + 'import content,' --yet it won't publish. Hmmmm.

Brinke, got Gtalk?

okay:
*it imported the photos from blogger fine. but new photo posts show tiny images, not full size. why?
when you upload a foto inside your post, you can hover it and a little menu pops up. there you can click on "Show image as thumbnail" or "show image as full"

*how do you add HTML?
in the settings, turn the "Rich text editor off". after that you can paste html and all the other nasty stuff
pages? go to write -> page and you can add a page
