Similar to Blogger, WordPress.com is quick and easy to set up. You can sign up for a free account and be blogging within minutes.

If you are cash-strapped, just starting out or not really sure if the blogging game is for you, Blogger.com may be the perfect solution. It allows you to get some experience under your belt before investing time and expense into self-hosting your blog.

Personally I am a big fan of Wordpress - it is easy to use, have a lot of addons (new show up almost everyday) and it's really helpful as it comes to SEO. And Wordpress community is always eager to help with any technical problems.
