well, i suppose it depends mostly on what you WANT from it!!!
Blogger (through Google) is easy to set up and maintain.
I got your message earlier, btw, and was thinking on it.

I use Wordpress, but I was happy with blogger too.
All are Free, unless you are looking to make it something much more advanced; then you may need to buy upgrades.

If you are using it as a way to mostly keep tabs on family, you can lock it, password protect, and have only those you know read.

Or if you just want the world at large to follow, you don't.
:P

Remember a few things. If its out there, its out there.
Own what you say. Remember your boss, your clergy, your family can read your rants if you don't have them set to private.
Think on that, be comfortable with the idea.

Also consider not NAMING people in full, especially children in photos, naming your job, your boss, your ...well, you get the idea, right??
If you type it, I can google it. If I google it and find you said something (bad) about your boss, or your sister, or if I am thinking of hiring you and I find that you believe (insert here) and I don't want someone who would say/think/ believe that, you may not get the job....

Over all, the biggest thing you need to do is think up a name, register and remember to write!

Good luck!
