    Advice regarding blog/online journal sites

    Hello all,

    I've never done a blog type of site before so I'm new to all this. This is what I wnat to do.

    I want to create a simple blog or online journal page that I can doccument some life changes that I'm going through.

    I want this completely private so that only invited friends can view (and add comments)

    I browswed some free blog sites and the problem I see is that I either have to make it public or if I want it private the viewers also have to be registered users themselves. I would like to be able to invite select people and add them to the permitted viewers list.
    Is this even possible? I admit I might have missed something here but as I said I'm new to the blogging sphere.

    Any advice or other sugestions would be wonderful. Thanks..

    Vanessa

    From the top of my head I want to say that the easiest way to share something in this fashion and keep the tightest control over who has access would be something like Google Docs.

    I suspect there will be others...

    Google offer a blogger tool. I think on the settings you can invite or restrict. Its worth checking out if you have a gmail account.

    I've just been looking at this and from what I can see any private viewers have to beregistered users themselves which most my friends might not want to do. However. I admit I might have missed something!.
