I have been a long time user of TypePad.com for posting my blogs and creating my podcast websites.  This site is a TypePad.com site.

They have a new free (ad supported) blog publishing tool and site called Vox.com that just launched officially (even though it has been in beta for a while).

I am not sure I'm ready to make a dedicated move to Vox.com, but from what I've seen ... by playing around at sholden.vox.com ... it is a very good tool for someone who just wants to get started blogging without having to know a lot of the technical details.

I also think the privacy features are well thought out and attractive to those who want to family/personal/friends blog but don't want to be completely open to the whole Internet.
