I came across this 2-3 MB vista compatible freeware softie PurpleNova ! Apparently you can now host a website/blog, from home !
Ya, one could always do so earlier too, but for that you needed to get a static IP address and host a website, or subscribe to a Dynamic DNS service if you had real dynamic IP. Unlike file-sharing in P2P networks, this one claims that it dznt need any special software, and looks more secure, as all content is filtered. On the flip side, Purplenova does not seem to provide a “community” portal like P2P offerings usually do. One drawback of self-hosting, which imdtly came to my mind is the obvious fact that the computer needs to be ON all the time.
