Blog Web Hosting

Hey Guys,

I know you've all been on pins and needles waiting for my latest post. Well, I'd like to write it, but I'm waiting until I set up an independent blog (independent of blogger that is). I think, in the long run, having an independent blog will be best -- I won't be subject to the whims of blogger, which might change any time by putting ads on pages or what not.) I'm planning on setting it up at chrisgeek.com (although, I do own christacular.com and mchamster.com, both pretty good domain names. Let me know if think I REALLY should use one of those other ones).

So, do you have any suggestions as to who should host my website and what program I should use to post my blog? Who hosts your blog, what program do you use, and how much do you pay?

Thanks for the advice.
