I was just over at Tim Blair's blog on Blogspot and saw him mentioning some Blogspot problem.

Here's what I do not understand: once a blogger becomes fairly well established and popular (and Tim Blair gets linked to by a lot of other bloggers) why stay with Blogspot? Blogspot seems to have enough troubles. I can see why its a good place for beginner bloggers and bloggers who get little traffic. But it only costs $11 a month to host on Hosting Matters for example. Now, one still has to go the work of setting of and configuring MovableType. But seems worth it to avoid all the Blogspot broken link problems and other problems that I keep seeing mentioned by and about Blogspot bloggers.

UPDATE: Here's Charles Johnson talking about Blogspot weirdnesses.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Excellent blogger Iain Murray can't get e-mail from 10 PM to 8 AM and weekends. Plus, he's on Blogspot. News flash for Iain: Some of the hosting services for real bloggers provide fairly reliable POP e-mail accounts as part of their basic plans.
