flickr or http://textamerica.com/ for photos... blogger or livejournal for blogs - both work fine but like with any software, no one is perfect for my needs...

Flicker is good for Photos, but blogging at wordpress.com is supposed to be very easy as well, and has image upload capabilities. I prefer to host my own WordPress installation for my blog, but some won't want to go through all that, and wordpress.com is free. Google's Blogger.com isn't that great, but you do get exposure because you are part of the Google network. I still don't think it's worth it, though, because the exposure isn't that great, and working with Blogger's templates is annoying.

dmetzcher: it's wordpress.org I personally host my site on my own old iMac G3. It's a WordPress blog.

wordpress.org is for people looking to host their own WordPress blog, as I do. wordpress.com is for people who want to have the wordpress.org project host the site for them. The question that was asked was "where do you blog? is it free?", so I thought that the user was looking to get a hosted blog and/or photos service, and suggested the hosted version of WordPress (and Flicker, in case photos were all that he/she wanted to have hosted). Not everyone can host their own site, so it's easier for many to have someone else do it for them. |

You could always buy hosting and then use something like Wordpress for the journal/blog part and Coppermine for the gallery (which can be integrated with a Wordpress/Coppermine plug-in). There's an iPhoto plugin called CopperExport that makes moving photos from iPhoto to your Coppermne gallery a no brainer (just like the .Mac intergration). A Small Orange has decent plans and great service, starting at $30 a year. They're also running a special ("lifetime plans") right now.
