    Have you tried blogspot/blgoger.com? It's the best free blog host for me though I am not using it.

    Why not find a free host and run your own hosted wordpress blog? This will allow you to do whatever customizations you want and won't cost you a penny. Most of free hosts though will want to put an ad on your page in exchange for free hosting, although some don't. Search in DP to see if you can find any good free hosting offers and then install your own wordpress blog. Hosted blogs like blogger and wordpress.com won't give you as much flexibility as your own blog.

    go to the freebie section of this forum. though i don't recommend them much because they used to be gone after some time and will trash all your files. still better look for a paid host. invest some money and be safe.

    They are numerous out there, google is your best friend. Two that I used before when I was starting out are
    http://byethost.com/
    http://www.50webs.com/free_plan.html

    You might need to get a domain name for 50webs, not too sure, but domain names are cheap.

    However, if you can afford to shell out a small amount for hosting then by all means do that, or you can use the free hosting to test out your ideas and then pay for hosting when you're ready to start your website.

    good luck
