Can some one suggest software or a website I can use for creating trip reports with photos. My preference is for an easy to use format that is free although I would consider paying for the service. Thank you.

Wordpress. Free and easy. See my site:

Thanks.

Yep. Wordpress would be my suggestion as well. Just pick the template you want. It's what I use.

We used Travelpod for several years. It is certainly very easy to use but very basic.

We then switched to Wordpress. A lot more flexibility and personalisation ( free and paid) but not quite as easy to use as Travelpod ( at least not from an iPad)

I totally agree. Wordpress is the best and most popular blogging software today. It is used both by the individual bloggers and major corporations like Forbes, CNN and Sony.
You don't have to know any computer programming, but there are a whole bunch of things you'll need to learn to start using it correctly. Good Luck! My blog is running on Wordpress
