I recently helped my Mum set up a blog.
She is an intelligent human being who is frequently made to feel stupid and frustrated because the apps she uses are unintuitive.
I set her up on blogger.com and I was actually impressed! Apart from a few minor conceptual issues, she had very little problem getting started with the interface.
The image uploader was particularly user-friendly, allowing her to re-size her massive straight-from-the-camera files into something manageable without her needing to understand pixel-dimensions and resolution.
It’s not the most sophisticated blogging platform, but I reckon blogger.com gets a few stars for being simple and effective and an application even my Mum can use.
