Put it on Blogger from Google. Has been around since 1999. There are some huge blogs/websites hosted on Blogger.

They make money with Adsense, and it turn Google does to.

Google has killed a lot of products but in my opinion they will keep this. There are just so many blogs, little and small, some who have posts dating from '99 even, still online.

Is Google going to be around in its current form a hundred years from now?

Google in 2024 feels like IBM in 1974. The brand will surely exist fifty years from now, but possibly much diminished. I wouldn’t count on any specific product surviving the “legacification” of Google.

I (wrongly?!) assumed that Google had shut down Blogger years ago and that this was sarcasm, using Google’s history of killing services to highlight the folly of relying on a commercial service to still be around years or decades later.

Poe’s law at its best.
