Blogging and journaling

With the rapidly increasing popularity of blogs and photo-sharing sites, somebody had to put them together. Some folks enjoy figuring out how to make online journals/blogs/scrapbooks user-friendly, but most just want a free or low-cost turn-key operation. Our Story looks like it may be the solution for them. The prompts about how to tell your story are excellent. A free account can collect and share stories with photos and comments, with a single “Friends & Family” privacy circle and access to basic MyStory questions – the Premium account for $40 a year greatly expands on that, primarily permitting video and multiple privacy circles so your friends can see one story and your kids another 😉

Another series of blog solutions that are reviewed well are produced by Six Apart – TypePad, Live Journal and Movable Type – worth checking out when you’re comparison shopping.
