we are livaboards from march,,so need to start a blog, but which one is best

[Artic Warrior]

Good morning Folks,

We go full time livaboard from march 31st, and want to start a blog

Im okish with using a computer, so willing to give it a go with making a blog, so buddies at home can follow.
Im not into face book really to much, so think a blog will be fun,
Ive heard some blogs are free but a pain, and heard some have a small fee but easier to use.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Colin

I imagine if I read a few blogs, it will tell me what program they are using at the bottom,
so that will give me an idea me thinks

sail blogs is easy enough to use especially for a computer retard like me, Ive found it fun to do and the costs weren't expensive, good to keep a memory of all that you have done I think - take a look

Just a thought, would a Facebook page work just as well these days?

I use Google Blogspt. It is easy to use, the pictures get held in Picasa, NB this is important for techy reason which I will not go into BORING BORING !

See http://sailingonelephantschild.blogspot.com/ for mine.

BTW I am a retired IT pro so could do it the hard way but Blogspot is better.

Just a thought thou,,,,
My friends would remember the word sailblog for instance so would remember where to find me ?

We have used Mailasail for the past 4 years - has some limitations but is easy to use.............go to the web site and navigate to blogs - there are lots and some are absolutely brilliant - check out Cape for example.

I've started several blogs but am very slack at keeping them up to date. Facebook works for us and almost all of our family use it.

Hope you don't mind me mentioning, but our boat has the word Arctic in it. Lots of people spell that word wrongly too.....

I use Google Blogspt.

+1
Free and it works. And can be updated via email which can be handy offshore.
