Well, sort of.  They don't want to encourage that usage, but they also don't
actually do anything to stop you.  As long as you put up a web site that you
can say is your "primary use", there's nothing really stopping you from
putting up some files in another directory.  (I do it.)   Even better, store
your data as a blog, so that we can follow along with your travels.  ;)
