Although I have set up a blog which I am satisfied with, my popular
blog software program is rather difficult to master as features are
constantly changing and seems designed for computer geeks who love to
develop new applications and geegaws. Which blog program is both easy
to set up, has sufficient features, and has an easy to understand set
of instructions so that the learning curve of the blogger (me) need
not take up so much time?  If you know two programs that meet these
criteria, I'd be happy to learn the comparative ease and benefits of
each.

Have you tried blogger? I quickly set up 3 blogs at blogspot.com. It's
easy to maintain and you can blog really easily if you have the Google
toolbar which has a little orange "B" button on it. (If you don't see
it select the down arrow next to the word Google (to the left of the
search box), choose options, select the "more" tab and check off "Blog
this").

You can play with the templates to customize it if you know some basic
HTML. Even if you don't there are some easy changes you can make.
However, if you really don't like tinkering with code, the default is
really nice and easy to use.

I personally use Blogger and Wordpress and I find Blogger easier
although Wordpress is more customizable.

There is a great article here at Sitepoint that compares 3 major
blogging software apps:

If you want a complete comparison, lifehacker has a big chart that
compares all of the features:
