Blog-o-sphere for trip reports

I started a couple of blogs on Blogger.com. I like the website because it's easy to post entries and pictures, especially for a technophobe like me who doesn't even have a smartphone.

Blogger.com is good - so is TypePad. Both have the option to blog for free and have nicely designed templates that you can customize with a simple WYSIWYG interface. If you're more interested in sharing content and posting pictures and travel tips than you are in building out a blog with lots of plug-ins and add-ons and whatnot, either of those sites (the free option) should work well for you.

I like blogspot.com. It is easy to use, even for a non-techi person like myself. Photos upload easy, they have a good vaiety of templates, easy to edit, and you can insert widgets and extras to have little extra touches. It is free of course.

I use blogspot.com and I like it. I did one for our 2010 trip but made the mistake of using 2010 in the address,... http://www.lee-reid2010.blogspot.com/ so I decided to start a different one for all travel after that. This one is ongoing; http://lee-reidfamilytravels.blogspot.com/

Thanks all, this is great. I will have a look at all of them. I'm going to try googling some blogs written by them.

My techie husband did an exhaustive search and feature comparison of blog sites (while I planned the rest of the trip ;)). His choice was Posterous.com. It was simple and we blogged each day, added photos and had quite a following at home. We enjoyed the blogging and the site worked reliably

Hello Nigel. I request that you inform us, here at the Traveler's Helpline, of the internet website that you choose to use for blogging.

I certainly agree, Ron, and will. I haven't yet decided.

Hi Nigel! I haven't used it, but I know that Ken uses www.travelpod.com for his travel blogs. He PM'ed me one day and mentioned: "after an exhaustive search, he chose travelpod for what it offered to him." Good Luck!
