My advice is to NOT go with a free blogging site as you don't have the control over your own site. If you blog or create a site that they don't like they can shut you down instantly and all your work is gone.
It happened to me because someone complained about one of my blogs on blogger.com. It wasn't even a claim that was true but they shut the site down without even contacting me.
I had to contact them and ask them to have a human check my site. They found that my site was fine and turned it back on, but they could have just not done anything and all my blog posts would be gone.
I stopped blogging with services like that.
I now host all my own blogs and sites on various hosting accounts.
I use GoDaddy.com to purchase all my domains. I can even buy .ca domains with them now.
I also have a hosting account where I can host multiple domains for just one small monthly fee.
I use Wordpress for my blogs because there are thousands of themes I can use for free and I can install them in just 2 minutes from the cPanel of my hosting account using Fantastico.
I used Mylot to earn the money to start my blog network which has now grown to more that 30 sites.
