Where do you blog?

Hi,
About a year ago I went looking for an EASY, free site, where you can blog/write and post photos INLINE as you write. I was pointed to posterous.com. I found that remarkably easy to use. But it's been shut down.
Do you have a blog venue where you can alternate written words and photos inline? Yes, I'm talking a trip report format: Could be up to 5 pages of writing, with 10 to 30 photos inline.
It will need to be password-protected; only people with the link and the password can read it.
May even be willing to pay a small fee if that is the choice I'm limited to.

I don't really "blog". If i do anything like it, it's generally on HST.
Some of my friends use:
http://www.blogger.com/home?pli=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I don't know if it's free, or if it's easy. Looks to be easy.

I'm using Wordpress, in fact I just recently (last week) converted my backpacking website to a Wordpress "framework".
To add..I'm using the self-hosted version of WP. I have my own domain and I installed WP (free). Lots of free themes to chose from as well as lots of neat plugins to help create photo galleries.

I use wordpress. It's really easy to use if you don't want to customize much.

I've used both blogger and wordpress and honestly, blogger is a lot more user friendly. I like computer programs and websites which are intuitive, and blogger is much better in this regard, in my opinion.

I use Wordpress and like it. Better than Blogspot, at least it was a few years ago when I switched over. Haven't tried Blogger.

I've been using Blogger (Blogspot) for a few years and I like the ability to customize the format and the Google analytics that come with it.

We use a blog function on our website---part of the free google website programs.
WE like the whole google sites approach, with a few caveats:
1. It's a PITA to register a domain name outside of the googlessites url. IT can be done,we did it, but it was still a PITA.
2. There is no real way for readers to leave comments on googles sites. Google says there is....but there isn't
