Blogging for Beginners
Submitted by bethtumbleson on Thu, 2007-02-15 18:35.

Since it is free, requires no software installation, is stored on Google's server, and uses ready to use templates, getting started seems very doable.

I'm not sure how he stands on me doing a blog on an outside software and linking to it.
