As long as you have an open RSS feed I can subscribe to it's all the same to me. But that rules out Facebook. Go there, and you disappear from my universe.<br /><br />As for a recommendation, I use Wordpress. It's free if you have your own server to run it on. That in itself doesn't have to be an expensive option.<br /><br />Mine runs on a server that is mostly there to host my personal media library, and could just as easily sit at home on a Fios connection using Dynamic DNS, if I didn't happen to have a free-hosting connection for the time being.<br /><br />If this idea sounds interesting, check out Synology NAS products on Amazon. Synology makes storage appliances in a range of capacities and horsepower levels that all run linux behind their great and easy to use UI, which also supports a range of free application packages that are also easy to configure and administer. I found setting up the Wordpress blog very straightforward and I had never been a server admin.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868464331839314127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235419263414453422.post-50566275970447073482013-03-16T01:45:02.191-07:002013-03-16T01:45:02.191-07:00No to Faustbook.

Thanks for that!<br /><br />There's no urgency yet. But in Google's next round of <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-cleaning.html" rel="nofollow">spring cleaning</a>, who knows?<br /><br />I suggest that at this stage you only need a contingency plan. But I vote for Wordpress, Typepad or similar. If you go to Facebook, I, like rjs, Nick, kjmclark and the others, will grieve and move on.
