Something I've been wanting to do for a long time is have a blog so I can post photos, stories, info. etc on various interests, things I've made, about me, family history, etc. and am finally going to do it but not sure what to look for. I figure there's many here who are into blogging and might have some good suggestions.
So, I am looking for something relatively easy to use and won't consume hours and hours of my time. Free is good (wife is an accountant and likes free stuff). Uploading photos easily would be nice without having to do any fiddly and time-consuming editing. Are photos and info. permanently hosted or what? What happens to it all when you are dead & gone? I'd like it to be there for my kids if possible, at least for a while. Or am I looking at a personal website? I'm not gonna be into daily or frequent blogging about stuff I do on a regular basis.
Despite have an electrical eng. degree (1976), I am pretty much clueless about today's software, blogging, social media and all the rest of current high-tech stuff that millenials use effortlessly. Just have had way too many other things to occupy my life and don't want to have to learn another "hobby" from scratch that'll be outdated in a few years anyway. I learned how to do coding (or just "programming" as it was called in the '70s) on Fortran and punch cards. Handheld calculators were just coming on the market and if you wanted a PC you had to buy your own Intel 4040 chip (circa '75) and build your own from scratch.
