I keep a copy of my bookmarks in my Yahoo account.
And, you can simply upload your entire bookmark file.
That means you don't have to type them in or even
visit the sites to get the bookmarks set up. I've
found that this is an excellent way to back-up my
bookmarks.

Yes . . . I have hosted my blog in my RootsWeb space.
I use blogger.com and then publish to my RootsWeb
space. Let me quickly set up a blog I wouldn't mind
folks looking at & I'll send the instructions on how
to do the uploading through Blogger.

OK -- I just went & set up the blog. See it at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~elsi/blog/
Of course, I'm keeping this blog focused on
genealogical content in keeping with my RootsWeb
account.

Here's the blogger setup:

On the publishing tab --

Publish via FTP
Publish Serverusers.freepages.rootsweb.com
URL
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~elsi/blog/
Pathgenealogy_html/blog/
Blog filenameindex.html
Server Loginelsi
