I dont WANT my files hosted by Blogger\/Google (the only option they give you &#8211; whether it be a custom domain on your site that redirects peeps to Blogger for your blogs or a Blogspot URL &#8211; BLARGH!!).<\/p>\n<p>So i guess i am gonna have to finally get off my arse and figure out one of the other blogging tools that are hosted on your own site. Can someone do it for me and figure out how to make my layout work with it too?
