Yup - can't go too far wrong with Wordpress - http://wordpress.com/ - lots of styles and add-ons available too.

... or Google's Blogger - https://www.blogger.com/

I use blogger for three blogs, it does what it says on the tin. You have adverts on or switch them off. I think Wordpress looks better though, but I can't get me head round it.

Try both..
do a 'test' run to se which dashboard suits you, I have used both and finally settled on Wordpress..
You could get your web space and your own domain name and be more adventurous as Wordpress.Com will block a lot of script stuff but you can still install Wordpress on quite a few web providers using an installer like Fantastico. Wordpress is very easy to customise with a shed load of add-ons..
If only a basic blog, your choice between the two.
There are some good alternatives like Squarespace if you want to spend some spondulicks

I use both, blogger with my own domain name and I host a wordpress server.

I like blogger as it links with other google products and youtube, however, wordpress seems to allow more customisation.

Try both and see what you prefer.

Wordpress is great - reliable, customisable and free (if you want)

I have mine hosted on my own domain for the grand total of £3 a month (for which I get unlimited space and bandwidth, if I need it!)
