What is the best site to use for free blogging?

What sites can you recommend for starting a blog? I’m looking for something that is fairly easy to use and that has private/public options. I’m not really intersted in myspace….know any others that are strictly for blogging? Thanks!

well not strictly for blogging but thats difficult to find
now even though its bullocks try nexopia, cause you have the option to have certain people not be able to read it.
