Hi
we use Piczo we have been in Aus 15 months now and our family & friends love our website .Put kids photos of xmas day on the site before the family were up in the uk so they still got to see then kids open their presents. I would reccomend it as the family feel as they see a lot of what we we do and I love reading the mesages that they leave.. heres the link to ours
www.theturtons.piczo.com

Hi
Im on google blogger and update it for family and friends at home in the UK. I have a counter on it too, so I can see who is visiting the site and when. Its been nice seeing my daughter and best friend visiting the site. Quite often you think that people back in the UK aren't thinking about you when you don't here from them for a long time, when obviously they are.
It's free and is easy to set up - if i can do it anyone can! I like that the site looks really professional and is nicely presented.

Hi all,
thanks for all the links, you have all got excellent sites
well impressed!
Sally, your video's, are they links from Youtube? I do like the Piczo site but I'm not sure I would like every Tom, Dick & Harry looking in on it(like I have just done
), would I be able to password it so that only friends & family could view it?
All the best,
Chris![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Hi Chris
You can put a password on and also you can't find it doing a search...only people you give the address to can view....does that make sense??
![LOL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/lol.gif)
Hubby (also Chris) bought a JVC 20gb video camera and uses that to upload and also to make dvd's to post back to the rellies......they must be really bored of them
![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
Make sure you let us have a nosey at your site though...fair's fair!

You have a lot to answer for!!! I have just spent the last day and a half (at work) reading your weblog. From house selling in the UK (trauma!) through buying in Perth, jobs, getting your boat, etc. Promise I am not a stalker - but just so relevant - as just like everyone else on here, we are going through the same things. We arrive in Perth (for 4 years) early September and can't wait.

HI all,
My family have suggested I get a webpage to update them of our progress in Aus, can anyone recommend any? It will need to have free space for photo's, don't really want to do a full blog type thingy! Just need it to be simple & easy.![Embarrassment](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/redface.gif)
Myspace & the like seem to cluttered with too much going on. Are there any free sites that will let you do this sort of thing?
Cheers all,
Chris![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

you got me thinking about this when i saw this post and today have tried many of the free sites and couldnt get along with most of em, the one i found easiest to use was freewebs
Heres mine i done today in couple of hours
http://www.freewebs.com/ournewlifeinadelaide/index.htm
If when the time comes u need more space u can upgrade from as little as $4.16 a month and can use paypal to pay for it
i found this one very easy to understand so if ya a complete novice its worth a look i think![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
heres the link to get ya own free page

When I was travelleing round Oz, we used Flickr for sharing photos + sent the odd email. Flickr is great because my dad has this great photoframe (Photovu - is not cheap but will be the first thing I buy when I get a house in Oz) which you can subscribe to a photofeed on Flickr which checks my Flickr photostream (can check multiple) every so often and downloads and displays photos on the photo frame on the kitchen wall. So mum and dad could see what we were up to in Oz on the kitchen wall as often as we uploaded photos. If the whole family is into taking photos as mine is, is great.
I will continue to use Flickr and Facebook when we move in a month or so.
