I believe all of us bloggers must understand how difficult to choose for ourselves a good blog service: you’ve got to choose one which can as much as possible satisfy you, esp. these that are free, easy-using, nice-designed, and ad-free.
Two and half years after I’ve started my permanent blog “Fairy Aria” on MYO, I became to need more different spaces for my various using. I still needed spaces for a special column, an art work gallery, a photo snap show, and a fiction publishing. So, the problem is, where to find for all of them?
Before I eventually decided the final places, I’ve ever tried several services. I like to try, (who doesn’t like?) Including MYO, I in all registered almost a dozen of free web/blog services. But the result? Yeah, I registered, tried, got disappointed, discarded, shifted, and I went crazy, became jaded. MYO, GOOGLE, SPACE LIVE, COCOLOG, FC2, MY SPACE, WEEBLY, SAMPA, JIMBO… There is always this or that discontent. I’ve no more choice but go back to MYO to build two of my plus-space. They are Siren Tale and Coven Prism, for my column and art work.
Nevertheless, I don’t think MYO is an ideal place for publishing a fiction. Yes, I have an account on FictionPress, but I dislike there after 4 chapters’ working. My rights to edit my own writing are limited there. No matter good or not, I think my story is a big project, not only because I’ve conceived it since I was at middle school; I need a place to organize, and FicPre can’t satisfy these needing. So I turned to Google Site. Since its address is too long to remember, I applied a free domain for it. Now, you may visit my new fiction site through http://soraniwa.co.cc. That’s short and easy-remembered, isn’t it?
Now, the last one, a place for my random snapping. This time I solved it quickly. Combining with Blogger and Picasa, I made the new photo-only blog in minuets. Blogger isn’t good enough for making friends, but it’s splendid on hosting personal stuff, (my photos, for example).
So far I’ve settled all these domains under proper services; plus I need to modify my MYO About page. I want to link all of them, and I also need to redirect my MYO homepage to the ABOUT PAGE.
Ok, the serious service madness goes to its perfect-some happy ending.
