Changes

In the next week I'll be ditching my current email address and setting up a new one. After seven years I'm tired of typing underscores every time I log into it, and the spammers are starting to find it (incidentally, does anyone know a free e-mail provider that lets me keep spammers' IP addresses?). It's also picked up a few other miscellaneous bits of baggage, and while these aren't a problem, I don't really need them around.

There might also be some changes on this site in the future, too. I very nearly lost the archives after my photobucket "premium" account expired before I remembered to renew the registration. Sure, I would have held on to the text from those posts, but there are also 2,000-odd pictures that were almost lost, which would have probably left a few holes. Consequently, I'm looking for a way to archive the old posts in such a way that would keep the pictures without having to rely on an external source like that.

Ultimately, I think I'll sign up for one of those dot net URL's that everyone else seems to be getting into at the moment. what I'd ideally like to be able to do eventually is to have all the posts as well as my tour journals stored all in one place. The trouble is, right now I don't have a clue how I'm going to go about it, and I'm not sure whether I'm going to get time in the immediate future. In the mean time, any suggestions of how to go about this are welcomed.
