Note:
If you get hosting through HostMonster or BlueHost or any of those,
there's no fee for domain registration. GoDaddy will charge you for
registration, usually 11.99 a year, plus all sorts of other small duck-
pecks that add up.
( I have several accounts with GoDaddy and for many things they are
great, but if things get complicated, they will always help you but
they may be wrong, or worse, break something. May be an unusual event,
but a couple of months ago they actually deleted my entire website -
database and all. They went off into their actual PHYSICAL TAPES (!!!)
to find my site at a previous time and reinstalled it, but this all
took two weeks, and left many broken links, and they never apologized
or gave me a refund or credit. I am moving my sites to HostMonster,
but doing it verrrrry carefully.)

Hey all,
Against all my wife's better judgment, I am considering starting a
blog. Enough of my professional colleagues have them, and enough
interesting stuff seems to be happening on them, that it seems a
good idea. I was hoping for some collective wisdom about the pros
and cons of different blogging platforms. I do, in theory, have the
ability to host it myself, or to use Penn State's in-house system,
but my initial inclination is to go with an established entity that
makes it easy to do things like track other blogs and track user
stats. I'm not even sure what other factors I should care about.
Again, any collective wisdom would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Eric
