I want to start a blog that incorporates video blogging. What programs, platforms are flexible (cheap or free) but also easy to use?

http://Posterous.com is an easy-to-use blog—the easiest I've found. Wordpress is very powerful (and popular). http://Tumblr.com and http://Blogger.com are also popular options. If ease of use is a concern, go with Posterous. Here is a link to my blog: http://markcatoe.posterous.com/ It also occurs to me that you could blog on Facebook or Twitter (you can attach video to tweets). Grammar Girl has some helpful advice about starting a blog here: http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-get-started-blogging.aspx
