TravelPod

"TravelPod.com was released in 1997 when it was introduced as the web's first site to enable its members to create online travel blogs which revolutionized the way people travel and share their adventures with the world. TravelPod.com remains, as always, a "for the travel community" service."

"TravelPod lets you share your trips using your own online travel blog (also known as a travel diary, travel journal or travelogue). You can post travel blogs from previous trips or use TravelPod for your ongoing trips. By updating your travel blogs while you travel, you can share your adventures with everyone back home."

"Because your travel blog is on the web, your friends, family and other visitors interested in your travel blog can view it (if you would rather keep your travels private, you can also choose to password protect your travel blog). You can even have TravelPod notify friends and family through email when you write a new entry. It's an easy, exciting and interactive way to document and share your travel adventures!"
"The site has evolved over the years based on your feedback to make it the most feature rich and easy to use travel blog site there is. Best of all, TravelPod has always been free, and still is today! TravelPod was built by travelers for travelers, and wasn't conceived to make money but rather to provide a free service to fellow wanderers."
