Crimsonzine went out of commission again today, and it's damned frustrating. Not as damned frustrating as Blogspot [no link available] but I've finally captured ten or twenty people appreciative (or desperate) enough to read me on a regular basis and I can't afford to lose them.
To be fair to Crimsonzine, this is only the third time (the first was a doozy, for about a week) that it's gone down, and I still recommend it to anyone interested in starting a blog. It's free, for starters; it doesn't have a big bloody banner ad, and it's usually reliable.
Still I'm going to have to bite the bullet and install a blog on my home server. Without CSS or Perl permissions. (I have no idea what it means, either, but it sounds impressive.)
So come along -- no, evolve -- along with me. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll roar as I navigate the treacherous shoals of HTML. You'll www.weep as I juggle with XML and RSS, whatever they are. You will possibly email me with advice.
With that said, good night and sweet dreams.
