It is better to have someone with many ideas but without computer experiences rather than someone that know the web well but don’t know what to share.

If you ask “who provide the space to put the blogs?”, there are many ways to answer it. Some blog hosted by a free web publishers (like blogger.com and wordpress.com), but some blogs hosted in their own server. (the top level domain one) You can even make your computer become a server to put your blog and share your knowledge with everyone in the world if you want. And you don’t need to have a server-level PC, a desktop pc should be ok.
