Hi

I'm thinking of writing a blog, as I'm off on a 6 week adventure. Only, I have no idea where to blog, i.e which site to use etc. I want a free blog, and password protected, possibly.

Can anybody help me/point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

"tumblr seems popular. not used it myself though."

Thanks, will have a look.

I assume I can just go and create a blog, just like setting up a fundraising page on a site?

i've never used a fundraiser page either, but i presume it will be easy to set up and that's why it's so popular.

good luck.

If I (Mr) was going to write a blog, I would use Wordpress.

Not heard of that? I just want a simple, easy blog, and will only use it for about 6 weeks.

Cheers.

Wordpress or blogger(blogger is probably a bit more user friendly)

I built my own website with wordpress and it was very professional looking in the end and plenty of YouTube videos to help

I'm sure YouTube will show the different blogging sites on offer setting them up etc

We wrote a blog using Blogger. Dead easy. That was 5 years ago so apps will have changed, but has probably gotten easier.

Depending on your ability to make short and interesting commentary on your activities Twitter is a convenient way to keep a record of those moments you wish to share ,,,,,
