This blog runs on Wordpress but is currently hosted at Yahoo!, which might change in the near future if Microsoft wins. I will probably move the whole site to a new hosting company that runs on some form of Unix (like Linux). Many of them do, thankfully! If you want to find out what operating system/web server a site is running, try http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph See "What's that site running?" at the top of the page? I have not had any experience with either of the services you mention, but a bit of poking reveals interesting information: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fstart so blogspot is a Google service on Linux, which is probably a pretty good bet if you want hassle free hosting. Google seem to be taking over the world right now, so you might as well join them while you can! I guess wordpress.org don't host a blog for you? They recommend some hosting companies http://wordpress.org/hosting/ Of course Wordpress.org also runs on Linux. I have no idea how much configuration you can get with blooger.com, but if its free its worth a try! I know I was a little bit disappointed with wordpress on Yahoo! I think it is more Yahoo's fault than wordpress though. I think any gigantic company is going to suck when it comes to service and real customization. Anyway I just set one up. Looks O.K. A lot more basic than Wordpress in terms of plugins, modules, etc. http://csabaveres.blogspot.com/ So if blogger doesn't do what you want, I recommend getting in touch with a local hosting service ... someone you can actually talk to, preferably in Norwegian!!! Most people will support wordpress, which seems to be a good platform. Hope this helps! Hello Nils, what a nice surprise my friend.

Interesting stuff. I have a question partly relatee, since your are talking about plattform, which bolg server or host do you recommend? I want to give mine a mondern view, so do I choose Blogspot.com or Wordpress.org. Are there some 'do' and 'don't' things in these communities..... Thanks and best wishes to down under.
