Wow, that pixelpost looks pretty spiffy. I don't have a photoblog at this point, merely my website that I started a few years back for my Renaissance festival pictures that is spawning into other things now.

I went the cheap route on hosting and just run it from my home computer on IIS (Microsoft built in web host on win2k and XP) over my cable connection using a free DNS given from
http://www.dyndns.com/. Were I to start it again or rebuild my computer again I would probably use
Apache for Windows but at this point I'm lazy. Of course there are some better free web hosts out there but I like controlling all of my content and I'm a geek so I can put up with the making sure I don't leave security loopholes and such. Not recommended for the faint of heart.
