> How hard is it to chronicle the restoration of a project in photographs and a 
> blog?

Mine is extremely old-school.  I have a site, hosted on an old Mac in my 
basement.
My blog is just HTML 1 files that I hand-edit, very plain and easy to do.  
Photos are
put on the site, and IMG tags used to insert them into the blog.  Doing so now 
is
second nature, and there's not that much to it.  I've been doing mine since 
2000.
It's not fancy, not going to win any awards.  But it works on pretty much every
browser known to man, including the ones for blind people.

What I like about it is that it relies upon ZERO tools that are not under my 
control.
It relies upon ZERO services that are not under my control, except for the 
hosting
of the domain name.  (Well, there's an SSH relay to a friendly site, but that's 
because
of my piratic ISP that raised my ire, and not because this is necessary.)  The 
data is
hosted at home, where I know where it is.  It cannot be lost if somebody goes 
out
of business, suffers a catastrophic meltdown, and/or converts to ransomware.

Just make sure you have good backups of the system, especially your blog data.
I use Time Machine.  Free, and easy.
