It's really a bad idea to have so many weblogs on a single server connection. The community has to diversify its portfolio.

This has happened several times in the past few days. I moved the physical location of my blog from blogspot to a different server about a week ago. Since then, I've noticed that blogspot has been inaccessible several times. However, blogger still seemed to be working, as I was able to post to my own blog using it. My guess is that blogspot itself is currently the biggest source of problems, most likely due to bandwidth issues. As lost as Blogger itself (I use Pro, by the way) allows me to post to DailyPundit, I figure I've got the best of both worlds: I'm still supporting Ev, which I think is a good thing to do, but I also miss most of the problems with blogspot.

Part of the reason people have been using Blogspot is because it is free. (Beside the $12 a year) Is there an option for people who want to use something other than blogspot?

There are many options, but few, if any, are free. You get what you pay for...
