Most blog-sites have software that let you type the text and download pictures, as usual for a blog.

Can you tell:
- Which sites you've visited?
- Why you think they aren't suitable for what you want?
- What you want in fact?
- The subject of your proposed blogs and your intended visitors?
- Why you think this is a suitable question for a 'small business' forum? I can't find any business aspect in your question.

Hi, as you said that you are new in copywriting then first I would like to suggest that you should get involved in forums. Its very place to discussion about all things related freelance copywriting. After that you can visit www.lifeonavenuez.com where you can follow the antics of a new freelance writer as she starts her own business. It is really a good resource for new freelance copywriters. Hope my advice would help you.
Good luck!

if you are looking to start a blog, the cheap and easy way is www.Wordpress.com it's free and easy to use. you can also move it to your own hosting if you get top that point.

if you are looking at starting to Blog about your business, find sites that talk about what you have to offer. begin by helping people with questions and giving advice to others.

you will also want to do this on your own blog to make sure you are adding Value and giving people a reason to come and visit your site.

i suggest talking a look at http://www.97thfloor.com/blog/ he has a lot of good stuff for not only blogging but small business and marketing.

hope this helps
