homepage of your trip...
i´m planning a 2 month motorcycle ride from asia to europe and would like to run a simple homepage where i put some storys and pics on it.
it should be easily to manage, just from an internetcafe without any additional software, just html editors and ftp uploads. it should have a guestbook aswell to stay in touch with my friends and to get informed of troubles that are somewhere ahead of my trip. i´ve got webspace of my internetprovider.
do you know any prewritten homepages which i can easily adjust for my needs?
which experience do you have with maintaining a homepage on your trip? (allow internetcafes ftp uploads, do they allow plugging my camera or have they already cardreaders....)
anybody may post his hp for example, please
matthias

Try Blogger?
We have a website, but for our diary we use a free blog page which is owned by google,
https://www.blogger.com/start
This will allow you do do everything you ask for, very simply. It doesn't have a guest book as such, but people can leave comments which you can use in such a way.
You can read ours at
Jenny and Ollie's Blog
and friend users it too
On a bike in Africa
The advantage of it is its simple to use. The only issue I have is sometimes the formating goes a bit astray, but its only untidy rather than difficult
Good luck

Try wordpress.
I am not sure about setup as my travel buddy set it up but they have some templates and once going is simple to use and I think attractive.
try my site below or Under African Skies
cheers and happy choosing, I hated setting up and was glad someone else could do it. Have any techno friends happy to explain bandwidth etc to you?

best solution i found
thanks to all,
i found something more impressing than the thing with the blogs.
i use a content management system which enables prewritten modules like guestbooks and galleries linked together. its an open-source project so it´s free to use and simple to build your own homepage.
Joomla! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joomla!
sure, you need a server where the system runs. i asked a "techno friend" to install for me. then i started to play around a bit and the outcome is this:
www.longwayhome.at - A dream comes true...
the main advantage is that i can manage and edit the homepage simple via any webbrowser...

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
