2. Yep, that would be the solution if we didn't need free domain/hosting service!

I manage a couple of blogs and sites using WP.org and have been generally pleased with the tools available.

Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to front the cost of a domain name and hosting for this group, I'm working as a volunteer and it's very much a "let's see if this is a useful intragroup communications strategy" at this point. It may not even be viable, but it's better than most of the social media solutions which may promise "privacy" in a not-visible-to-the-public sense, but nevertheless have user information to do with as they will.

Thanks for the suggestion, though!

appreciatively,
Bright
