Blogging question....?

Question

I used to have xanga, a type of blog, and you picked out your layout, your colors and stuff like that. And you could write in it everyday and insert pictures into it and stuff for other people to see and stuff. Well, I was wondering if you know of anything thats like that but JUST for you? Like sort of an diary thats on your computer that you can put your thoughts in and pictures and do it just like the other except its only for you. Do you know of anything like that?

Answer 1

Many blog services allow you to keep everything you write confidential, or to allow certain people you select to see only parts you select.  You'll probably want a regular "blog" site (Blogger, WordPress, etc.) more than a "social networking" site (Xanga, Facebook, MySpace, etc.).  Not sure where LiveJournal comes out in those categories.

You could also do something private in "Google Docs" --think you can add pics to it too but not sure.

And you could also get a free website through Tripod, Homestead, etc., or service providers often offer a website possibility to their clients too (though may not come with templates?), etc., then just not give the url to anyone if you wanted it to be private.

Here are some links:

https://www.blogger.com/start

http://wordpress.com

http://www.livejournal.com

Those would all be online though... if you wanted something similar that wasn't online, you could write and add pictures to Word or another word processing application.

HTH,
