What is a good online blog/journal/diary?

I've used Xanga in the past and opened a new account recently but it was just too confusing and in my impatience with myself I closed the account today.

So what is popular now-a-days and easy to use? Also, I've heard about this Facebook thingie. Can someone enlighten me on this? Thanks!

I don't know how much help I can be but I blog in 2 places. Rubberslug - Although, I try to keep my blogging there cel and anime related but I do talk about others things too. LiveSpaces - It's geared towards blogging but it has other features too. I have listed what books I'm reading, games I'm playing, etc. like that.

Good luck finding a place that works for you!

Have you tried searching the Internet?

Enough about me, let's talk about my dress.

Gee Cloud, you sure do like to talk about your dress alot!

Live Journal is a great place to keep an online journal. I have a Facebook, but find it a little unorganized, so I don't sign on much. Myspace is much better for a social networking site.

I've read a few blogs on Blogspot. It seems really simple and easy, so it might be worth checking out.

I don't think I've read that. Can you give me a reference?

Oh I forgot! You can also go to Blogger. My friends and I are all over there even though we only use it when we're vacationing. We like to tease the ones left at home.

Two of my friends went to Japan without me and harassed me endlessly on Blogger about all the places they were going. It was fun!

I use LiveJournal. There are so many out there . . .

Facebook is definitely not good for blogging. It's more about keeping up with friends, getting invited to parties, and poking each other. Plus, there's a lot of "games" to play (though you have to invite a certain number of people to be able to access the games). I've got a facebook and a fairly decent amount of "friends," but I hardly use it.

I've got LJ, too. Both links are in my gallery link section.

Thanks for the help everyone. I checked out all the different suggestions that everyone made and thought I would give LiveJournal a chance first. If it doesn't work out for my simple mind then I'll move on to the next. So far though it seems much simpler than Xanga.

Thanks again!

I've been using LiveJournal for like... eight years now or something. It's nice and simple to use, and easy to keep in touch with everyone. :) Plus it's easy to keep your own privacy if needed.
