Note that engineering students can get a MySQL database for their personal use, and if I understand correctly, it doesn't count towards your quota.  I am hosting a couple of wikis with my MySQL database.  While CS students won't always have a CAEDM account, you will for ECEn / CS 124, 224, 320, and 324, so you could plan it right and have your MySQL database for up to two years.  And, of course, engineering students would always have a CAEDM account. Perhaps that would be a (temporary) solution for your blog.
  The availability of the MySQL databases aren't publicized. However, I spoke with David Dougall about this, and if you want one, simply send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] explaining what you plan to use the database for. I would say that your personal blog will help you further your understanding of web applications, web development, and website management.
   Good luck with your blog!
