2. Go to http://namecheap.com to buy your domain name. Use coupon code "INTERFACE" and get a .Com domain name for under $9.00 a year.
3. Go to http://freehostia.com/free-chocolate.html and sign up for a free web hosting account. They have One-Click Wordpress Blog or Drupal installations.
4. Point your domain at NameCheap to FreeHostia (by changing the DNS to freehostia) and you are done!
5. No just install your Wordpress Blog or Drupal, customize it and start posting content!
It's as easy as that! Stop procrasinating and get a website or blog up and running now. Though the first time is a learning process, it's not that hard.
Having your own domain and website might be a little more complex then having a blog hosted at Blogger or Wordpress.com but the benefits of complete customization and branding is worth it.
