1154001 2010-11-17 20:49:00 I'm looking for a blog site that I can use to... well... blog.
But I'm after something that's more for private blogs, not public, basically i just want to be able to record specific information on a daily basis and access it from any computer, but not allow anyone else access to it.
Also a provision for posting a breif blog via txt would be great.
So basically like facebook, but without all the friends.

1154006 2010-11-18 03:05:00 Blogger has a text mobile set up service to auto generate a blog. Don't know about privacy though...being owned by Google.

Depending what you goals are for a blog, might be easier to document, then upload to a free online service, like Microsoft's SkyDrive. Then can convert later to a self hosted platform, as noted above with Wordpress.

1154008 2010-11-18 06:04:00 Well ive just realised my phone cant go online because ive just changed to 2 degrees and the phone was originally sold as a telecom phone (c510a)
So i think ill just document and upload to skydrive.

Why bother putting it online then? Why not just write in a diary/journal or even just a text document on your computer? :illogical

Because I need access to it from wherever I am, especially if I'm not near my own computer, and I'm certainly not lugging around a book, I mean, come on, it's 2010 :D
