Don't own any. I do have some limited leased space on the same machine
hosting this list, and have had my blog there before. The first one ran
well, but then I got tangled in a political mess which required shutting
it down. I'm not ready to try it again until more time has passed. The
second attempt with a different address was simply *too* private, though
it had the advantage of full control, since it was 100% static HTML --
but no RSS.

I do have a machine suitable for running as a server, but I don't yet
have a commercial grade account with my ISP. I'm not in a position to
explore that just yet due to costs.
