Hello all that is blogger, i feel very welcomed with a new look on managing a website for both content i enjoy sharing on, and items i sell from my personal collections. Right now as i post this. As you can see i have a google checkout gaget working and for the moment. I want to run a picture upload and find out more about if i should remote host my photos for the catalog, or host them here with google. Anyone know from experince, please comment with your insight. It would be so helpful but i know such a long shot just asking for someone to tell me. So here is a photo for ya;


OK, so i see the general benefit, but definity not for the catalog, that will have to be remote hosted.

So, this looks to be my option now really. I will remotely host my catalog images, which will be populated through google checkout. I will then plan to use the blog as a simple content manager and catalog. I think i will keep my profile name as is. Freeformcabs is not a trademark but in time many will remember my contribution to the world lapidary community. I am sure i will run into problem but i think this is really the best option for a stable platform that i do not have to host myself, nor have to pay for except in the long run when google takes over the world and makes me pay $100 gallon for water. What you think bout them apples?
