Blogger through Google is pretty easy to se up - particularly if you already have a gmail account. It's also pretty easy to find free layouts, lots of html code support in case you want to change things.
I googled "blog" and, since Blogger is Google's blog service, it was at the top of the page. Super easy, easy for someone like me, who's completely computer-illiterate.
to echo everyone else, I'd stick with Blogger/Blogspot. And, actually, they now offer tons of different backgrounds and stuff so if you have time to play around with it, you can set up something to your liking no problem.
Re: Blog?
My Blog
I used Google's Blogger also. It's easy. You can get cute backgrounds from "The cutest blog on the block".
