I have used mytripjournal for a dozen years. Not free, costs $99 per year but you get unlimited upload of photos and video, and at any resolution you choose. I think there are options now that enable you to integrate your photos in the text to tell a better story. Mytripjournal just loads your photos in a batch, which can then be used as a slide show. The text part of the journal is simply text, or at least as I use it.
I'm getting less responsible in my posting. I started the journals to record trips overseas where we joined guided tours that rented RV's in each country. On those I saved each day's photos by day, did a write-up of the day, and uploaded them to the journal as I found internet Cafe's. Started with relatively low resolution as many folks still used dial-up. I use HD resolution now which enables viewing on large screen TV's. I still have a whopping 20GB battery powered HD I bought back in 2001 to save my photos on the road. You can password protect your journals, but I abandoned that and just leave mine public, but only editable by me.
I think blogging has mostly replaced what I do, but to set in my ways to learn new things.
Lots of options, but keep a local copy of everything in a form that you can use to rebuild your site on another host. I've been very lucky. Most sites, especially free ones, go away or morph to something you don't want after a few years.
