Websites for A Writing Group?

Endwell

I want to set up a website for a writing group limited to invitees. Ideally the site will be
*free and without ads
*user-friendly for those less gifted with IT
*allow people to paste poems and short stories onto a page
*allow others to post feedback below a piece of writing
*facilitate finding a specific piece of content

Any suggestions?

The best free site I have found for groups so far, groups.io would allow for pasting content and feedback via a wiki facility, but this would be too off-putting for many of my group. I am happy to recommend groups.io for simple sharing of documents without feedback. It allows for creation of folders (without wikis) and to describe files and folders along with acting as a user group. It is also https and free.

Sorry I don't know the answer.
The group I attend has a standard website.

What about a private Facebook group?

Or a blog with restricted viewing?

We did this with a Flikr group. You can have different pages for different subjects. We did quite a bit of writing and feedback on it, actually.

Blogger with multiple authors probably your best bet. You can password protect it and set different levels of responsibility for each member.

Thanks for the replies. I have explored Blogger and Flickr. Keeping much of the formatting form Word documents will important. Flickr doesn't allow for this. Blogger does, but appears to lack a menu system. Or have I misunderstood Blogger. I also tried Wordpress and Medium Both strike me as not user-friendly. So I am still looking.

Blogger has menus.
