Hi Folks,
After a hiatus of wild IT academia activity and other events I want to get back to doing some posts. I am thinking of setting up a separate blog and then linking on to here like I noticed some people do. Looking for any recommendations on where to host my blog from the experts here? Thanks Geoff

Blogging isn’t so easy! You have to be passionate about it and other things must suffer, else it …. I still believe if the main purpose is to earn money, YouTube is the fastest way to go about it, and you must be consistent… 1000 YouTube Channel sub + 4000 watch hours within the last 365 days ….….

Can always check out a .tech domain too. That is my blog domain. 
Or a .coffee
Coffee’s never enough for those who do our job.

Thanks for all the great advice. I will figure something out next week.
cheers
Let us know! :)

Also a +1 for WordPress. Not long ago I did some research and compared the existing solutions, and I ended with WordPress; almost every hoster has it in its portfolio and it’s really flexible. But finally I discarded the idea of an own blog because of our great german laws...
Now I am interested: what german laws are stopping you from doing this?

Maybe BurkeTech.info?
What about TheBurke.engineer ?

I assume it is the german law about the legal notice for websites. You have to write your complete address in it. At least is it this what stops me from owning a public blog.

This webpage has collected all the rules.

Yes, it is complicated

But an Impressum - that must include the address - is just necessary for commercial websites.

There are a bunch of lawyers that say something different

That’s a lot. Here in Italy the must for a blog is only “Cookies policy”.

Well i did get a message when trying to purchase a domain name from google saying something about “in your country not allowed etc”, then googled :) and found it has something to do with taxes. Will investigate more again today. My plan is to post there and then link into here like I see others doing.

Maybe BurkeTech.info?
What about TheBurke.engineer ?
I need something more “jazzy” :) Burke is a pretty rough surname to begin with. For the Brits it is even a put down :) “don’t be a burke”, can’t remember but I got that a lot at the Embassy. Maybe
So Notorious KGG sounds cool but Notorious might scare customers away (I.e he is notoriously bad :).
Maybe “GO with GB and remain Ransomware free”!! Man this whole blogging and marketing thing is turning out to be tougher than I thought.

It’s a weak put down don’t worry! It’s far more offensive to call someone a donkey or a wet flannel than a Burke 😆
We’ll have to come up with some ideas for your blog name!

A wet flannel? flannel is a kubernetes CNI https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel, I don’t use it though as if I remember correctly it does not support network policies. But a wet flannel? I guess as opposed to a hot calico https://www.tigera.io/project-calico/ which is my choice 
.. as for donkey I have been called that too, and a goat in Russian (being a goat in Russian is nicht gut!!), never understand this slant against poor goats but…
Anyways, I feel a lot better now :)

What about ITstoriesfromGeoff.com or talesfromGeoff.com? Your stories are always interesting and fun, so why not make it your blog name 😃

True, but if I called you a GOAT I’d be saying Greatest Of All Time.
