Thousands of blogs bit the dust this week when weblogs.com closed down its free hosting service without warning.
I guess I'd be upset if it were me. I can't understand why it would have made things more difficult to give people 30 days notice to move their content. Oddly enough, the site itself is up at the moment but apparently there are some 3,000 blogs that are inaccessible.
I think there's more to this story that we'll hear about later.
I'm just glad I paid for my own domain and hosting.

I'm sure of those 3,000 there must have been 10% that were still active.
