If you've thought of starting a blog, or if you're posting on a site like Blogspot or Crimsonzine, there's a wonderful opportunity to get your own Movable Type setup and three years on a quality host, all for free.

1&1 Internet (part of United Internet) is offering a 36-month no-strings-attatched tryout of their Professional Package account (normally $30 per month), with 500MB webspace and 5GB/month transfer capability.

This is a big, solid company, with 3500 employees and 2.5 million customers.

Like I said, there are no strings attatched. You don't even need a credit card, unless you want to buy a domain name. 1&1 will register that for you for $6 US a year. No advertising, no popups, no selling your address to spammers. Go to their site and check it out.

Installing Movable Type is way beyond my geek chops, but there are people who will set it up for you no charge. Go here or here.

The kind-hearted King of Fools set up mine. For which he has earned eternal pride of place in my blogroll.

I'd give you the address, but there's nothing really to look at yet, and it'll take me a while to figure out how to edit the templates, etc.

Really, this is a terrific offer. Even if you don't want to run a blog, 500MB will store a lot of pictures of your cat.
