I agree with that why spend the time when there are already free services out there? It's much easier to do it that way. I just have a personal preference to not rely on other people websites for content on my own website. For example I can set up a blogger on blogger.com and create a live feed from it and display that on my website, but then what happens if they go down for a day or worse get hacked? Or even decide to change their policies to charge for it, or include advertisements?
Personally if it's my website and my content then I want to rely on my own server. it'll take me a little longer to get it all squared away, but then if it goes down, my whole website is probably going down. And I'll never change my policy, and start charging myself. Haha.
Anyway it's all up to personal preference, and since I have my own server I am going to use it to it's full potential.
Thanks Boomer, the most important part of these forums is the ability to see everything from everyone's perspective and I appreciate your input. I might not go that route but it's something I wasn't aware of.
