I suggest having your blog installed on your own domain name.. and back it up on a regular basis

There should be a notification. So just switch host by then.

I wouldn't lose my blog, I'd just lose the tips from it.

I think by then should have quite a few free host coming out like Xanga etc.

There will be someone doing the free service always. Although, blogspot is run by Google, and I dont see any chance they are going out in next 10 yrs(atleast). If google can run famous but in great lose YouTube for free, blogger is returning them a lot of revenue, why they will consider closing it.

You will loose your blog.. so if you anticipate this circumstances, you need to backup your blog.. Just switch host by then.

Google is a listed company and a very profitable company. I dont see how they can shut down. I dont see why they want to close down blogspot too. The only problem is that they dont delete blogs that have no update for years. Those bloggers may be dead, yet their blogs are taking up cyberspace, and laying claim on the blog name.
