Hi all, a few questions
1/ Blogger or typepad?

just wondering if typepad competes with blogger for free web space with photos?

2/ Will they start charging?

Who thinks Blogger, Flicker and other free web hosts will one day start charging... or is server memory getting so cheap that they'll never need to charge as long as they get a little advertising revenue?

Would charging risk losing "cutting edge" most user status and risk that revenue funding?

3/ To blog, or not to blog? That is the question.

I'm thinking through moving my http://www.eclipsenow.org site to a blog or typepad... as it's only getting about 2500 hits a month and GoLive is just so SLOW! It would save me web hosting fees, and I could just point the eclipse domain name to the blog for a year until all my "fans" got the hint. Does an independent website, hosted by ME, have a lot more street cred than a blog?

4/ Working ratios with web design software and code.

Also... who mainly works in code and who works in Golive... and if you do, when do you use GoLive and when do you use the code within GoLive? What ratios? 40% Golive, 60% code?

If you can answer a quarter of the above, that would be great! ;)
