I have tentatively created a sompost blog over at MSN Spaces, and posted someting on Google's new Mapplication to see how it looks ("it" being spaces, not maps, although the post is on the latter, with "on" referring to subject, not host. Of course it is "on" spaces, hosting-wise. It's all very confusing). Well, MSN Spaces look nifty but there are only a few possibilities to customize the blog's appearance to one's taste. Also, commenting requires a passport account.
