I'll second that endorsement of WordPress. For my business, I took the route of buying a domain and hosting (cheap), but use a Wordpress theme as the design engine. Took me a couple days to get familiar with it, but it wasn't hard to get going. The biggest challenge of a blog-based thing is keeping it updated so it doesn't look abandoned. Trying this morning to dream up a topic.... One nice thing is most designs work on mobile devices. www.alembicproductions.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of eliya gwetta Sent: Monday, October 19, 2015 11:12 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] vintage equipment schematics and photos social media "stream" You might want to try WordPress. I think they give you 2gb of free storage. You create a new post, upload an image, give the post a title, maybe a tag, hit submit and you're done. The whole thing takes less than a minute. WordPress also lends itself to easier browsing. On Oct 19, 2015 09:56, "Tom Fine" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi Bob: > > I've dealt with those folks before.
