[Web4lib] joomla?

As others have shared, WP is probably the simplest tool to learn/use. And if free/cheap is a consideration, then check out WordPress.com first. You can test WordPress there, see how you like it. And if the free service meets your needs, then you can pay a nominal $15/year for a custom domain name and no one will even know you're using the free service!
