Very easy to use. I use blogspot.com and can write text (HTML-formatted
if I so desire) and upload pictures. One trick I like is to link to a
Flickr slideshow. Here's an example (on a regular web page, but it can
be used on a blog, which after all is just a web page):

The benefit is the easiness to install (you upload a package with ftp +
a script generally in php, then it's just a matter of clicks and simple
questions) and to maintain.
About the writing, it's still practical to let you the possibility to
write something. You can configure your blog to block or not comments.

Keep in mind that i propose you that, since i prefer writing manually my
websites, only because you told about the lack of time.
