We're going to be setting off shortly on the big trip round Australia.  We'd like to set up some sort of web page so we can post photos and news for friends and family to follow our progress, but we're not sure what method is best.  What do other nomads do?

Nicholstones I am not sure who you have your internet through or who you have as your email carrier but ninemsn provide a free email account, once you sign up for the free email account, a number of options then become available to you including "live space" now live space has a free blogging place and I havent used it yet but I reckon this would be O.K.

you're not wrong there john it's a great blog,......... inspired me to knock one up myself, 

dont get excited theres nothing in there as yet, .........I just wanted to see how hard it is, 

a wacker like me can do it so I expect to see blog shortcuts cropping up all over the site now and have their little shortcut thingys incorporated in the bottom watchamacallit thingy, the signature oozlefry doohickey

Thanks for the feedback everybody.  We've set up our blog, albeit with not much on it yet - but then we haven't left home yet!
