query to the brain trust
My congregation has a writing group and we'd like to be able to share
some of our work with each other and anyone else who cares. Our own web
site doesn't yet support blogging; I'm told it's coming but not soon. So
I want to set up a shared blog or journal somewhere, with posting access
restricted to the members and commenting open to everyone. I'm looking
for suggestions about where to do this.
Some factors to consider:
- Most group members are minimally proficient with internet tools and concepts; I'm the outlier. So the interface needs to be pretty simple and resilient.
- There will be 10-15 individuals posting to this and I'd like it to be clear who's posting. (I don't want to share one account.)
- There's no money for this. I'm willing to chip in up to about $50 a year, but I can't fund individual accounts for each poster.
- If the site is ad-supported it should be tasteful; I've seen LJ ads recently (when accidentally logged out) and that's just plain obnoxious.
- For this application I don't think threaded comments are a requirement. (I consider them essential for my own journal, but not for this.)
- Syndication (RSS or Atom) is a must, but I assume they all do that. (More specifically, I want to be able to read this blog via LJ.)
- I have a personal aversion to Blogspot because it's very hard for me to post comments there. (OpenID seems to be broken and their captchas are extremely difficult for me.)
Thoughts?
