Yes, you can get free Blogs at Wordpress or Blogger but there’s surely no faster way to get a free blog than Posterous and it requires no setup whatsoever. Simply Email your post, with whatever attachment you want to include in the post (image, video, music) and they will email you the link to your new posterous blog address. Keep emailing them and the new posts will be added to your blog. The resulting blog even looks pretty decent.

WYSIWYG Blog Editors
Most blogs have decent posting interfaces but if you want to write blog posts offline or in something more like a wordprocessor there are quite a few excellent free options.
Blogdesk
A freeware offline blog editor with lots of features and support for many blog platforms. Images can be directly inserted and are automatically uploaded. With the ImageWizard you can not only insert images to your posts - it’s possible to edit them as well (crop, resize, rotate, shadow etc)
Links can be easily inserted and edited. If you link to local files (such as MP3 or PDF), BlogDesk will automatically upload them. You can even publish simultaneously to multiple blogs with one click.

Post2Blog
Similar to Blogdesk but has a few unique features. This blog editor allows you to use a flickr account to store your photos. It also offers live spell checking as well as the ability to post directly from MS Word.
Windows Live Writer
Last but not least is my personal favourite, Live Writer, the free offline blog post editor from Microsoft. Perhaps the slickest of the three, it has quite a few nice features and supports plugins, of which there are many. My favourite is the Snagit screen capture plugin which makes it a breeze to add a screen capture which will then be automatically uploaded to the blog when you publish the post.
A new feature in the latest version is the ability to insert a video from your computer and have it automatically published to YouTube when you publish the post.
