Blogging has become ever so popular and it continues to grow. There are thousands of websites offering their services to keep your memories with them. Each site has got it’s own features unique from the others which becomes confusing which one to choose. There’s a few key elements in selecting where you want to keep your memories. Ask yourself these questions when selecting a blog hosting service.
Reliability: Has the site been around for long? Are there down times? Do regularity backup their servers?
Efficiency: Is it easy for you to create a new entry? Does it allow pictures and videos to be embedded in an article? Will your family and friends understand it’s interface? Commenting system easy to use?
Limitations: Are there any limits? How many pictures do they allow? Is the quality of the uploaded pictures OK with you?
Popularity: How big is the community? Are blog posts search-able in Google?

In no particular order, here are my picks of the best places to blog your travels.
TravelPod: A reputable site that has been around for many years. They continue to push forward on ease of use with their wonderful interface. Updates are made frequently. Their forum is very informative. And the support is outstanding. You can even see a map of where you’ve been and how many countries you’ve been to. What more could you want?
WordPress.com: Not directly linked with Travel Blogging but it’s ease of use is just too good to pass up. The community is large and the WordPress team is always working hard on the next big thing. You can customize your blog to your style and even purchase your own domain.
SoSauce: I’ve met many of the folks over at SoSauce and I completely back them up. The website is easy to navigate and the community is fantastic. A great place to get along with other travelers.
Travellerspoint: One of the most popular travel forums and easy to use travel blogging.
There are tons more out there and these are only based out of opinion and what I found to be the best.
