Wordpress.com is a good starting point, they have a great UI, free plans, 
and you can export your data to your self-hosted wordpress instance when 
you're ready.

I've captured information for posterity, shared photos, and written a FAQ 
that are all hosted on a site I started in 2000.

I so wish I spent more money on data storage back in the 90s and kept better 
backups. As it is, I have a backup from 1994 and 1999, and that's it.
