What blogging software should i use?

[Sugarkane]

I'm going to do a music blog and I'd like any suggestions on what software to use. Preferably freeware. I don't want to use a blogging site, cuz i'm gonna run this off of my site. thanks

I've been researching this question myself, and here's a few good free ones:

WordPress...probably all you need if you're just doing a blog with the software
Drupal...looks like it can do more than just blogs (i.e. it could handle forums and other such things), this is the one I've been considering most strongly for the blog/fancy tradelist site I've been planning for ages
Blojsom...I'm not certain if it's as flexible as Drupal, but it's probably more flexible than WordPress

Thanks for teh suggestions. i think my extrememly limited computer abilities are not gonna be able to operate those programs well enough. i might have to hire you out to build a site for me or something.

Also, i need a suggestion on a good webhosting company for a blog cuz i'm pretty sure the one i use now is a ripoff.
