Today I ran across the following thread of links: Don Browning's blog and Tosh Meston's blog and Scoble's blog all talking about how being linked to by Scoble can increase the chances of being in the top 10 on a Google search for yourself... I too was linked to by Scoble last week (thanks Robert! - by the way do you go by Scoble or Robert?). The funny thing is if you go to google and search for "Jason Haley" you get my OLD blog at blogspot (owned by google), which doesn't have my full name anywhere on the page. If you do a search on just "Jason", my blog isn't even listed...

Maybe my dotnetjunkies doesn't come back due to the comments I made about blogspot on Saturday Feb 21 on my old blog - copied below to save you the trouble of looking it up (no easy way to link to blogspot entries)

My lack of blogging (here)
I have been keeping a blog inside of the company I work for since October. I think I now have something like 170 entries in that blog, but as you can see there are only a few entries in this blog.

Why is there so few here and so many in my interior blog? It isn't due to the sensitiviy of the information I post (I'm just a developer in an IT shop and don't know any sensitive information), It is the software and the control of the hardware. Since I don't have my own web hosting (yet), I have gone cheap on this blog by using only the free services. On the intererior site I have .Text version .95 installed and am looking forward to getting .96 installed soon. .Text is soooooooo much better than what blogger provides for free, why is that??? I thought blogger was one of the first? I don't think radio is any better, even if you do pay (from what I have heard).

Comments and RSS are needed - for free! I understand if blogger wants to put a cap on how much storage (in database mostlikely) I use for text, but come on. What is a blog without providing RSS? And comments?

File storage for pictures (which would probably be stuck in the database too) and files would be cool too, I just don't want to pay for what I don't use. I am planning on looking into upgrading my blogger account, but that link doesn't seem to be working (actually a javascript off of www.blogspot.com).
