Hi there,
The two blogging sites i've looked at so far (Blogger.com - owned by google,
and LiveJournal) both have facilities for making your posts public, friends
only or private. And i've just started peeking at the blog on Wordpress.com.
I decided i might want to have a private blog, and maybe try to get into the habit
of writing to it regularly, daily, or at least, multiple times per week.
But also get into the habit of writing, as far as possible, an "honest" blog, and
write it for me, to me. So.. no hindrance, or less hindrance, of making it sound
'reasonable' or 'justifiable' or 'socially acceptable' to a 3rd party audience.
The idea is honesty and insight.
Whilst i was playing around with google's 'blogger.com' settings it offered me a
choice between http and https .. and then i realised... if I did create a post that was
honest and self-revelatory (hence sensitive data).. that data, that post,
would inevitably be sat around in plain english on some computer somewhere...
actually that same data could be copied to N number of computers en route
between the client and server boxes.
So that made me think that i needed to find a blogging website that would
encrypt the data
(a) at my client (for transmission to the server)
(b) at the server (so it's not sat on disc somewhere in plain english)
So it's basically an encryption rich blogging website.
(maybe not a free service..)
So ...
question 1 is: Do you know of any encrypted blogging websites (free ones) ?
question 2 is: What blogging site/software would you personally recommend ?
And.. i now realise...
As very often happens when you sit down, describe a situation and specify a
question: the answer somehow magically pops out of the ether.
I think, probably, a better solution for my 'private blogging' needs...
Is to get a free encrypted email service... and send myself 'mediation
journal' updates, as emails.... from me, to me.
protonmail.com is a free encrypted email service.
On protonmail, you have to specify a mailbox encryption password
as well as an account password. And when you send emails to another
protonmail account (like your own) then the data is encrypted prior to
encrypted transmission.
So what have i learned ?
I don't need a blog, not for my honest and private, journalling needs.
so i can stop wasting my time doing this compare and contrast stuff.
What have you learned ?
Maybe i've given you a good idea for how to do you own private journalling.
Maybe i've told you something useful about protonmail.com.
However, i'd still like to hear about your views on blogging.
And if there is a free encrypted blogging website.. i'd like to learn of that
too. Perhaps knowledge of this will be useful in the future.
best wishes
