Xanga
"With lots of bells and whistles, Xanga has more of a learning curve than the other blogging hosts. This does, however, translate into more functionality for advanced users. These high-end goodies include checkbox template creation, blog rings, comment posting, RSS and news headlines. On my sample blog I added my photo and news about children and families. Premium users get an ad-free blog, image hosting, a spell checker, email posting, and an advanced editing tool."

Writing the Journey
"Start your journey with the free online workshop that explores journal writing techniques such as dialog (between yourself and your other self), timed writing (limiting yourself to a predetermined number of minutes), and the unsent letter (get it out of your system without involving the recipient.) For classroom use, the workshop exercises are also available in printable PDF (see Goodies.) Although the website is no longer updated, and they no longer publish a regular email newsletter, Writing the Journey is still worth a visit."
