Where to host javascript and similar files?
For non image files (for example css, javascript...) you can use one of the following services.
Free hosting services :
OpenDrive - in this moment in my opinion this is a best choice. OpenDrive have 5Gb free space storage and bandwith of 1Gb per day. You can use OpenDrive service to host javascript files with javascript functions which you can call from your blogspot posts as an external javascript file.
OpenDrive bought few small firms who are offer free hosting of files. In the end of 2011 OpenDrive had a serious incident where they lost some of their users files. I believe they learned from this accident and will not repeat same mistake. So, be careful, my advice is to always keep backup files on your local computer or even better at two different cloud providers.
