    Try using SquareSpace. They are already set-up to be search engine friendly.

    The first thing you should do with a new blog is go to settings, permalinks and click the custom button
    Then enter /%postname% this will add your title of each blog into it's url
    I actually use /%postname%-%post_id%.html
    This appends a number - so that you don't get problems with multiple posts using the same title.
    And the final .html makes it look like a web page

    A blog works very similar to websites. Like seafrontsteve said, SEO friendly URLs is a start. Next...
    1) Regularly submit sitemaps to search engines.
    2) Make use of Social Media and Social Bookmarking websites.
    3) Have an RSS feed for your blog, sites like YAHOO allow you to submit RSS feeds as well instead of sitemaps.
    4) Make submissions to blog directories.
    5) Write articles and build a solid backlink portfolio.

    Hope this helps.

    use good keywords for the titles of your blog posts and insert some keywords to the body of the article, then make some back links to your site
