    If you just want to do a blog that anyone can read and have input on why don't you just start a Yahoo group and get one of the people that you would communicate with to administer it. That way you don't have to have internet access, just email posts and everyone gets them automatically

      John,

      We also set up a blog on Sailblogs but chose not to pay for the
      Premium service because our primary website is on GetJealous. I have
      looked all over the Sailblog pages and cannot find any map/Sailtrac
      features available for free, only for Premium members. Also cannot do
      the SSB text email updates except for Premium members. That is a
      feature that really interests us because GetJealous does not offer
      this service.

      Are we missing something that really is available for free on
      Sailblogs? If so, can you point us to the correct place on the admin
      pages to find these services?

      auto e-mail them notices about updates on your pages. You can draw
      route maps and add remote position reports all for free. Give it a
      try...and it also provides you with privacy as you control who can
      view your pages and location information...
