(I'm probably late to the game) But If you're just getting started with blogging and want to try it out, try setting up a tumblr or posterous blog. They take like 5 minutes to set-up and have some classy themes.
Then if you gain some transaction, make the switch to a full on hosted WordPress blog. (my one piece of advice is to never, never, never, ever purchase a domain through Blogger or Tumblr and then decided to switch over to a self hosted WordPress blog... It's a disastrous endeavor)
And finally, I hope you enjoy blogging as much as I have. I've been running my own personal blog for over 4 years now and also my corporate blog and also an iphone apps blog (

Blogging is probably one of the best things I've ever decided to do.
