homepage of your trip...
 

i´m planning a 2 month motorcycle ride from asia to europe and would like to run a simple homepage where i put some storys and pics on it.
it should be easily to manage, just from an internetcafe without any additional software, just html editors and ftp uploads. it should have a guestbook aswell to stay in touch with my friends and to get informed of troubles that are somewhere ahead of my trip. i´ve got webspace of my internetprovider.

do you know any prewritten homepages which i can easily adjust for my needs?
which experience do you have with maintaining a homepage on your trip? (allow internetcafes ftp uploads, do they allow plugging my camera or have they already cardreaders....)

anybody may post his hp for example, please

Try Blogger?
 

We have a website, but for our diary we use a free blog page which is owned by google,

https://www.blogger.com/start

This will allow you do do everything you ask for, very simply. It doesn't have a guest book as such, but people can leave comments which you can use in such a way.

You can read ours at

Jenny and Ollie's Blog

and friend users it too

On a bike in Africa

The advantage of it is its simple to use. The only issue I have is sometimes the formating goes a bit astray, but its only untidy rather than difficult

Good luck

Don't forget to have a look at the FREE Horizons Unlimited Travellers Stories blogs.

Link on left. Simple and effective, and on the site where you are going to get the most visitors!

Try wordpress.

I am not sure about setup as my travel buddy set it up but they have some templates and once going is simple to use and I think attractive.

try my site below or Under African Skies

cheers and happy choosing, I hated setting up and was glad someone else could do it. Have any techno friends happy to explain bandwidth etc to you?

best solution i found
 

thanks to all,
i found something more impressing than the thing with the blogs.

i use a content management system which enables prewritten modules like guestbooks and galleries linked together. its an open-source project so it´s free to use and simple to build your own homepage.

Joomla! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joomla!

sure, you need a server where the system runs. i asked a "techno friend" to install for me. then i started to play around a bit and the outcome is this:

www.longwayhome.at - A dream comes true...

the main advantage is that i can manage and edit the homepage simple via any webbrowser...
