Yeah, you don't have to deal with code if you don't want to. I do prefer to host my own blog, but if you want a free one hosted elsewhere, here's some links:

http://www.blogger.com/
http://www.blurty.com/
http://www.livejournal.com/
http://www.wordpress.com/

And there are plenty more, just Google.

You can also get your blog listed at blog search sites, like these (again, Google for more):

http://www.blogcatalog.com/
http://blogsearch.google.com/
http://www.sphere.com/
http://www.technorati.com/
