Geek Stuff
This site is hosted by webhostingbuzz (it was the cheapest deal I could find $4 a month)
I purchased the domain name from namecheap ($8.88 a year)
The blog is powered by wordpress which is free.
The picture gallery is powered by gallery (free) . previously I used coppermine (free) but the results were not as good.
For the occasional FTP upload/download, I use filezilla .
