Why I Don't Write "Articles" and/or "Features" on this blog

Over the past couple of days I've started asking myself why I don't post "articles" or "features" on the blog. I've written and drafted a couple of articles over the months but I don't put them on any of my previous or my current blog. Articles being posts on a specific subject or topic and features being a regularly published, themed articles. A good example of an article would be a post on "Why the original Star Wars trilogy is extremely better than the second one" and a feature would be a weekly "Top 10 (insert random topic here)" or "Star Wars Fact of the Week".

Although I do write themed posts like the "501st Quest" which is about my journey on joining the 501st Legion, they are posts on my personal life and aren't regularly published because they depend on things actually happening in my life and article-worthy things don't usually happen to me on a daily or even weekly basis.

My main reason I don't post my articles or features on the blog is because, currently, the blog is still on Blogger's servers or, in other words, still on FREE hosting. I still haven't gotten my own hosting nor domain yet. I'm pretty sure not everyone would say that it's a valid reason but, then again, it's my blog/site after all. I just don't like the idea of posting my stuff up unless it's going to be on my own hosting and on my own domain. I don't want to start posting up my articles/features then submitting them to sites like Digg and the link leads to a Blogger site. I just feel that doing that isn't the right way to go about presenting yourself to the world.
