Look at this... Weebly - Create a free website and a free blog
Free if you allow .weebly.com subname in your domain name...
It uses templates and a simple drag and drop interface that is really easy to use...
Pull up weebly tutorials on youtube.... You can have your website up, published, hosted and running at no cost...
If you want no weebly subname in your domain they will do that also for yearly fee...
