Well, I have managed to set up a personal blog. I used Radio UserLand and published the blog to my iSchool account: http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/~dcplumer/blog/.
So far, there are some features I like and others I don't. It's not free (I'm on the 30 day trial right now) and the prebuilt templates are, frankly, uninspired; I'm going to work on beautifying things tomorrow. On the plus side, the built-in news aggregator makes it VERY easy to post news stories, and it has RSS support if you like that kind of thing. It has built in e-mail posting, and I think I've enabled remote posting to my server, so it's not just a desktop solution, as the books would have you believe. There are, however, some CMS features to the desktop system that I hope to play with over time.

One of the topics, "Smart-Mobbing the War" is conveying interesting news "using wired technologies as weapons".
