A blog hosted free by the company or a blog hosted by you? Blogger does both by the way. If you are looking for something free, I know some people use...

Lots of people use their MySpace account to create a blog.
For Homestead... I don't know anything about that, but on first glance it seems very limited to me. It doesn't compare to something like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, but it all depends on your needs... how easy to want it to be to design a website, how much flexibility do you need, how much are you willing to spend, etc etc
Hope this helps.
