I use LiveJournal, mainly because that's what most everybody else I know uses. I like it because it was really easy to set up but I've been able to add to it to make it look cooler.

LiveJournal also has a nifty FIRST community.

To update you can either use the web service or download a client (if that doesn't make sense it will once you read the site). I use Semagic and have found it to be sufficient.

I'm not a blogging addict, so I haven't tried anything else, but LJ suits my needs.
