Who's a cheeky sod then?

Well, I found a way to get my blog hosted on my domain for free, with a nifty posting/management interface, unlimited disk space, searching and all the features I wanted, including the ability to edit the raw HTML for the template.

Basically, Google are bringing in a whole bunch of features to let webmasters integrate their sites with the Google Tools, and one of these tools is Blogger.com. If you have the ability to add CNAME records to your DNS (or can get your hosting company to add them for you) you can have your Blogger blog under your URL.

One thing I did find though is that Blogger automatically adds their banner in to your site. I couldn't see anything in the Terms and Conditions / Acceptable Use policy about this being a requirement of the hosting service, so I added the following to the CSS section of the webpage to hide this bit of corporate branding:

#navbar {
display: none;
}

Of course, if anyone finds out this is against the T&C or AU please let me know and I'll make the necessary adjustments, but I think it's a bit cheeky that Blogger should be branding my domain and site with their name.
