Anyone got a blog going?

I need some help from anyone here who has a blog. I want to start a golfing blog, mostly just for my own benefit as a fun thing to do, but I'm not really sure where to start. There are obviously a lot of different options, and the host I'm looking at at the moment is 1and1 http://website.1and1.co.uk/website-builder (link there for anyone wanting a look) which seems to do everything for you - which is exactly what I need! Before I take the leap, has anyone used it before and could recommend it, or is there anything else I should check out first?

I wouldn't bother self hosting unless you want full control. Check out:

Wordpress (free hosted version) Tumblr postach.io
