Two easy ways to blog without (almost) any technical skills!

For those of you who have said, "I'd like to blog about...." but think you don't have the skills to set up a blog, I have some suggestions:

  1. Try a photoblog:  One of the simplest ways to tell your story is through pictures.  One of the easiest ways to do this is to use http://365project.org/ .  Pictures are easily uploaded and you can caption them plus describe what is happening.  Another option is to use a flickr account.
  2. Use Posterous:  Posterous is as simple as emailing.  You email what you want to say to your posterous blog. There are some easy choices of style and color for you when you set up your blog, but you can just leave "as is" for a neat, professional-looking site. 

    3. Some nice examples of posterous blogs are rlbate's posterous and MaryO's posterous.
You CAN blog!  Start your own, and show me. I can't wait to see it.

    I love posterous - it's so easy to do. The best thing is the PicPosterous app for the iPhone. You take a picture, name the post you want in, optionally add some text and posterous takes care of the rest - including geotagging, if you want.

    I used this for a recent trip and it was so neat to take pictures driving around, then have the little maps that showed just where we were at all times.

    So easy and so good!

    Yes, I can thoroughly recommend keeping some kind of record of your journey through any kind of medical condition.

    I refer back to mine to try and get key dates for certain events.
