How to Set Up a Blog?
How does one go about setting up a blog that allows regular updates and some photos or some method for creating an on-line travelogue that friends and contacts can check in with, leave messages, etc.?...

I stay away from anything google.
When blogger said I had to sign up for a google account to access my blog is when I went elsewhere. I was also permanently locked out of my long running blog unless I signed up to google, not.
Since google took over blogger if you set up an account with them your personal info, pics etc., goes EVERYWHERE and you can't stop it. And you can't opt out. I would not post anything personal or post pictures of my family on an account attached to google. Just take the time to read the privacy policy 'before' you hit the I accept button.:(
For friends and family contact I found buying a dot.com is the best, safest and easiest way to post pics etc.
I use godaddy. Just this year I tried a couple of other ones and in minutes found out they were just as bad as google. Cancelled them all and went back to godaddy.
For around 12 bucks you get a personalized dot com name and a free website with all kinds of templates that are easy to use for posting pics,blogging etc. A buck or two more and you get your own email account to share with your family and NO spam of anykind just the emails from your family.
No ads and they don't connect your info and personal info with everything internet like google stuff does.
