New blog host:

Steve Rubel points to a new blogging host/editor/tool that looks pretty good, he says: Eponym. It's free and will transfer your old blog to the new platform if you like. Features include categories, links to recent comments, and a 'Cosmos' (Technorati links).
Rubel created a sample blog so you can see what it looks like. Here's another new Eponym blog, Portal News, which seems to be news about Israel in Portuguese, with a pleasing design.
This could be a good option for someone who wants something that does a bit more than Blogger but without cost.
There's also an Eponym Blog Search.

Bit of a warning, though: One new Eponym blogger is finding it rather hard to use.
