I think the two most popular blogging sites online are Blogger and Wordpress. Wordpress provides templates that look more professional, but Blogger provides a few as well. If you know how to do html, even better, because you can make changes to both, on your own.

I personally use Blogger, because I find it much more user friendly. Some say the same about Wordpress though.

I'd suggest creating an account with both sites, get a feel for how each of them works, and decide from there which you prefer.

Another thing you might consider doing is, once you decide the name you want your blog to have, reserve that blog name from both blogger and wordpress. If you start with a blogger blog, you can always convert it to wordpress down the road, and many people have done that.

I've also read that it can take longer for a wordpress blog to show up in search engines, so you might keep that in mind, depending upon what your goals are for your new blog.

Here's a really great article I found a while ago, while researching building niche content blogs. This might help you decide which is better for your needs.
