Wordpress: free (beer & speech). PHP/MySQL hosting required. Dead easy
to install.
Typepad: not free in either sense, but it's a hosted solution that
requires zero technical input from the user.
Movable Type: free (beer only). CGI Perl hosting required (plus,
optionally, PHP and either PostgreSQL or MySQL). Sixapart have
seemingly lost the plot wrt the humble blogger as they strive to
become the enterprise blogging platform of choice.
Or there's Textpattern (which I used to use but jumped to Wordpress a
while ago). Similar to Wordpress (PHP+MySQL).
