Others I know use WordPress and rave about it. I couldn't get on with that - too fiddly. I tried LiveJournal and it was okay - I used to have an entirely private diary on there and then thought, fuck it, and published it all for public view under a pseudonym - it was very whiney and I got a load of randoms adding me as a friend just so they could watch the car crash unfold.
People find them in a variety of ways - Facebook has a Networked Blogs widget thing which helps - plenty of FB friends read mine through that. FB also publishes my updates. I also use Twitter at times and put links on there.
Blogger also works a bit like YouTube in that you can go onto the site and scroll through different blogs.
I used to have my own website but I find these days that between Facebook and Twitter I have enough webspace for my needs - I'm not selling anything, any links or bits I write are all on FB and that's fine for now.

With wordpress I found you had to fanny around with the settings too much to get it the way you want it.
Plus Blogger is integrated with gmail which is useful because I always forget my username and passwords to blogs.
