Blogging

hello everyone i'm new to this forum, I'm really new to all this, just got my computer and Internet. I want to start my own blog but I just don't know how to go about building my own web site, can anyone please recommend what would be a good start? like....do I have to learn programming to build my own web site? Or at least point me in the right direction or where exactly I should look for help? Thanks, and sorry for the off topic post! I just didn't know where else to ask...
