how hard you work to keep this whole thing running smoothly
I just make it look hard. 😉 Really, I read all the posts because I usually enjoy them. Thanks for your kind words.
(The one other thing I’d ask is, what exactly are you hoping to do? Depending on what you’re trying to accomplish, there may be different options that are more appropriate than a blog, or different kinds of blogs that offer you more or less appropriate things. And obviously it’s difficult to know what all the options are, especially when ease of installation is clearly a pretty important factor too.)
Offhand, I can’t tell whether Host Baby (which is run by the same people as CD Baby, which of course sells JoCo’s CDs) is only for performing musicians or if it supports music educators, etc., as well. (The features Ben links to, like concert calendar and streaming audio, seem to be more directed toward the former, but that doesn’t mean they won’t cater to everyone else.) They’re Good People, though, so it might be worth an e-mail to ask.
Last I checked, though, JoCo’s off Host Baby by now, as of May 2007; the backups they made helped JoCo recover after the Great Backup Disaster of Aught-Seven, at which point I’m not sure if the new host he moved to (the people responsible for that disaster) is the same host he’s got now. (As he said in the first blogpost I link to, he switched because he needed a server dedicated to his website, rather than a shared server, on which other people’s websites are hosted as well.)
