It needn't cost anything, but you could spend a few hundred a year on a site if you were feeling fancy. There are a number of free blogging services.

All you really need is something like a blogger account...what you do with it is the real challenge. You don't have to have the technical sophistication you speak of to start saying something and get noticed. There are some really slick templates available (Don't ask my mine are so lame...I'm just lazy), you can be online and blogging in minutes. Not to say that learning about hosting, etc, wouldn't be useful for more experienced bloggers who want to move on from their "childhood," its just a little advanced for someone who could post three times and then fizzle out... Alittle investment in the blog would create some urgency that would push a new blogger to keep it up, then again gym fees on automatic debit don't seem to people off the couch who are just lazy.
