This is quite easy. The free version is of course burdened, but it has a lot of themes, but very few plugins. I wonder if I’ll miss them, and I’ll have to upgrade to avoid the adverts.
The code interpreter doesn’t work either. Maybe I should use images for the embedded tweets, but it’ll be a problem for the rss lists. Plugins need a business plan, which is more expensive. Also google tools are not available until business plan, which is over £20 p.m.
Here’s the link on their pricing, from free to £21 p.m.
I came to the conclusion that losing the plugins was too high a price to pay for getting a cheap hosting service. Certainly, I couldn’t move the wiki there. I deleted the blog a couple of months ago.
