As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website/weblog. If you are going to create your blog website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: http://www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your blog online at your purchased domain name.
If you’re going to start your blog at your own domain with different pages, you need a web host providing wordpress.
Take a look at:

Honestly I haven’t used iWeb, but I am currently using Wordpress and I really like it. It is easy to use, there are many places to go if you need help with anything. The Warrior Forum is a great place for bloggers new and advanced to go for help.
You can either go the free route by going to wordpress.com or you can get your own domain name and webhosting and start your own blog. If you go with getting your own domain name it is much more customizable and I believe you can do much more with it. Its your choice though and you can go with trying it out for free if you want then if you like it you can go with getting your own domain name and webhosting.

Well, for blogging I recommend http://blogger.com to the beginner. I say this because its very user friendly and with in a few clicks you will have your blog set up and ready for posting.
Also, with a few more clicks it can be monetized with adsense ads. This way you can make a few bucks from your site.
Now the best part, the whole purpose of blogging is to get your ideas out there, and you want people to read them. Well, google owns blogger and they take care of their own.
So, its really upto you but, I say blogger. Good Luck!!! Let us know if you need any assistance getting your blog set up

I think you should choose wordpress and self hosted web hosts. I have written some posts relating to that. Have a look.
