Sorry to see Advogato go; it might be over the top to say it saved my life, but, when I first found it, I was working in a very corporate environment where it had taken me six months to get Internet access. So it did save my sanity. Plus I got to meet some really interesting people, both here and in person.
I'm not going to say I have a blog somewhere else. I tried starting an XML blog and there's also an RSS feed for my pictures scanned from old books.
I'd consider hosting Advogato but my Web hosting now for the most part is supported by ad revenue, and I don't think putting ads on Advogato would be appropriate.
