I have no particular recommendations, but take a look at these:

http://wordpress.com/
http://blogger.com/

No matter what you do, most importantly get an RSS feed up for your 
blog, use the pinging services (such as for Google blogsearch and over 
at technorati) and say hello to your old friends already in the 
blogosphere with linkbacks, trackers, and other little widgets that 
mostly look like 'clutter' to help proliferation on the social 
bookmarking websites and so on (try AddMe and a few other extensions to 
Wordpress). It helps. Btw, has anybody mapped the extropian 
blogosphere?

Personally, I use blosxom for blogging. RSS feed on my site. But it's 
not exactly a typical setup. Wouldn't recommend it for "I just need it 
to work like everybody else's."
