Wordpress is awesome for search engine position. (At risk of self-promoting) It's what I do for businesses and the search engine results are almost immediate and pretty impressive.
You're right, Simon. If you're non-technical (but can write text and upload an image) Wordpress IS fairly easy to use. If you want to do anything else with it, it suddenly - like all software - becomes challenging and it's not for the faint-hearted. :-)
I've been using blogger for the last year or so and have been happy with it. I'm sure there are better versions and I hear Twitter & Wordpress are great but I just can't be bothered to move! i think my next website will have the blog integrated anyway
