A great example is to use WordPress as you will not pay more than $30 a year. It is one of the best free blog software currently available as WordPress is ideal for several reasons. You can create your own domain name and very flexible. When you use a completely free service you will not actually own the blog as you cannot choose your own domain.
Once you know what your blog will be about, you must realize the importance of a great domain name. Blog and Forum software which installs instantly so when you choose a web host. Look out for that especially if you do not have any experience. Dreamhost is a bit more expensive at $119 per year, but well worth it. When you use a promo code, you will get $50 discount, which is great.
Next you will install the WordPress, which will take about 5 minutes if you know how to install a web application using MySQL. You simply download the WordPress and unzip it.
