Make Your own Website for Free

[eminenz2]

Hello!

I am hoping to make a website documenting my DIEP flap breast reconstruction after cancer.

When I was getting ready for my surgery, there was not a lot of info RE: the surgery as far as what to expect. There were only pics of before and afters, but nothign inbetweenb, and not much in the way of the actual experience. So I had my DH take pictures of me before, immediately after, a little more after, until the whole process was completed.

So I hope for this website to provide more detailed info for women considering this kind of surgery.

Long story short, I am looking for a reliable website that can help me create a free website. I just want to have pictures, a bit of text, a couple of links, and a comments section. I have no experience writing code or anything like that. Google provides a of of choices, but which one to pick?

Thanks!

Susan L.G.

Google's Blogger is very easy. It allows pictures, text, comments and many other features: https://www.blogger.com/start

Bravenet is what I played with before finding Blogger. It's pretty good, but from what I remember, you have to deal with ads: http://www.bravenet.com/webhosting/

Sometimes your Internet Provider gives you a certain amount of space for a free site. I have one of those too, but I don't use it much ~ it requires knowing basic code, and though I know enough to get by, I got lazy once I found Blogger.

Your idea sounds wonderful, and it would be a great service to many.

Hey! I have my own blog!

Excellent. When you're ready to share, post the link!

I thought about it but I wondered if I'd be too shy to share. I mean, you all kind of 'know' me here, and you'd be seeing pictures of my rack and all...

And my face is in some of my pictures here.

Anyway, I'll think about it and maybe I'll change my mind.

Thanks for the encouragement though!

I think Geocities from Yahoo also has free webhosting. Tripod is another one.

You've seen one, you've seen them all. If anything, I feel a sense of relief when I see a great reconstruction. It reassures me that if God forbid I ever had to go through something like that, there's hope for a good outcome.

I understand if you don't feel comfortable though. I'm not sure I could post pictures. You could always just do a text-only site, documenting the process. I bet any information and experience you could provide would be appreciated.
