Weblogs, Blogs.. assistance required...
As most people on here may or may not know I use my Yahoo Group as my BLOG... it's my way to promote myself, allow people to get an insight into me and/or being an exotic dancer esp. here in Australia, share my photos and promote my affliate links and other businesses (Goji juice, for instance).
I am seriously considering moving my Yahoo Group BLOG (diary) entries into an 'actual' BLOG... I just do not know where to find one that will suit me. :-\ Instead of spending countless hours searching the internet I was hoping that the members here might be able to recommend places that are free for me to use and suit what I need. :)
I need a BLOG that allows me to have my own personal web address ... and that isn't too long... I need a BLOG that will allow me to upload/post photos and only share those photos with those who are 'subscribed' or 'members' of my blog... I need a BLOG that will show links on the side on the index page which also has my latest BLOG entry... I need a BLOG that has a calendar on the index page so people can 'keep track' of where I will be and when...
Any recommendations? :-\
I am posting this in Other Work as BLOGS are another way dancers can earn an income (affliate links and so forth) besides promoting themselves.:)

I think you'll need to buy your own domain name if you want your own domain name. I have used Blogger for years and just host it at my own site. It's really inexpensive to host your own site and Blogger is of course free.

I use LiveJournal... some folks import it to their site... I hear it isnt too hard to do. I just link to it.

There's TypePad at http://www.typepad.com/
Here's a review of TypePad:

I also stumbled upon this blog hosting service. Don't know anything about the service personally, but it looks like maybe a reasonable package, especially since it includes domain name:

She was having a crack at the huge "Strip City" image you have at the top of your BLOG. ;) It's all in jest, good humour ;D I hope to have my Yahoo group moved to a BLOG soon.
