Couldn't be easier. Once you register for a free account you can create
your own blog, subscribe to blogs in their online RSS Reader, create
free bloglines.com email accounts, etc.etc. Check it out.

I've been diggin' the vibe over at http://www.squarespace.com
You can always upgrade if you need added functionality. But you can start
with a simple set-up for free.

Blogger.com is a good place to start. They offer free space for you to create
your own blog. I have a blog there.

You can see an example of how your blog will look. Plus when you view a blog
on blogger it gives you the option to view other blogs on Blogger as well.

After you open a free account you can subscribe to rss feeds, generate
disposable email addresses @bloglines.com where your mail comes in via
rss feeds, and set up your own weblog. The blogs are simple and
straightforward, plain text only. I have one there which is devoted to
freeware and XP tweaks, you can check it out to see what a bloglines
blog looks like.

It really depends what you want to use the Blog for. Depending on that,
the free path may, or may NOT, be the correct way to go. But it's
important to think about this upfront. What is your long-term purpose
for this Blog?
A major practical use of Blogs is to promote websites, products,
services, or even just to stay in touch with customers or members of an
email/ezine list. They are very powerful for that as they provide
regular (daily, if you wish) contact.
In beginning to Blog, it's pretty key to know whether you are going to
go with a hosted solution like Blogger.Com or via one that you maintain
yourself on your own website. That's pretty key to decide before you
start because otherwise it gets pretty tough to change over.
Blogs are a subject that is both easy and complex at the same time;
easy to get going with fast, but complex to do right from a marketing
point of view.
In terms of resources that discuss the inner secrets of both Blogging
and RSS, I recently discovered the Stephen Pierce course on the subject
and find it to be quite excellent in terms of specific advice and ideas
that you might not think of otherwise.
You can find information about the Pierce Blog & RSS resource here:

Either way, I do recommend that people learn up about the subject
before committing to a system, and then regretting it laster. The
Pierce course gives some pretty specific recommendations about that.
