User:Fantom~enwiki/blog

I'm thinking of creating a blog, but it may not go ahead since not many people would probably read it and it would be taking advantage of Wikipedia's free server space. Of course, if you like the idea you can leave a comment here or on my talk page.


 * Although I know the previous comment came from an unsigned ip (may not be Fantom), I just wanted to point Official Policy on WP:WIN :
 * Wikipedia is not a free host or webspace provider


 * You may not host your own website, blog, or wiki at Wikipedia. If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on something else, even if it is just a single page, there are many sites (such as Wikicities (http://www.wikicities.com/), SeedWiki (http://www.seedwiki.com/), Emergency Digital (http://www.emergencydigital.com) or Riters.com (http://www.riters.com/)) that provide wiki hosting (free or for money). You can also install wiki software on your server (http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/). Wikipedia pages are not:


 * 1. Personal homepages. Wikipedians have their own personal pages, but they are used for information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage unrelated to encyclopedia work (e.g. posting your resume), please make use of one of the many free homepage providers on the Internet.
 * 2. File storage areas. Please upload only files that are used (or will be used) in encyclopedia articles; anything else will be deleted. If you have extra relevant images, consider uploading them to the Wikimedia Commons, where they can be linked from Wikipedia.
