There's a mad dash happening in my office to get ready for a possible hurricane hit.
I've been working all morning trying to come up with a way to be able to get information online to our employees and to the public if and when a hurricane does strike.

As a person who hopes for the best and plans for the worst, I decided that I wasn't going to stake our company's online employee communication plan on something I didn't feel was completely reliable. So, I decided to make a hurricane information web site and host it with Blogger.

By hosting the site with Blogger, I won't have to rely on our local web hosting provider to have our web site up and running the storm. I'm pretty sure they'll be more concerned about saving themselves and their properties than be worried if one of their client's web site is down.

As much as I have faith in capabilities of the hosting provider for my work company and their supposed 98% uptime promise, I always try to have a back up plan or go with a sure thing.

At the moment, Blogger seems a better bet than the local guys.
