I would say that unless you are really serious about blogging, using hosted blogging is even easier. Try blogspot (http://www.blogspot.com).
As for setting up planet.sagemath.org, I tried to set it up on sage.math.washington.edu last night but ran into this problem: In [1]: import bsddb --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <type 'exceptions.ImportError'> Traceback (most recent call last) /home/yqiang/<ipython console> in <module>() /home/was/s/local/lib/python2.5/bsddb/__init__.py in <module>() 49 from bsddb3.dbutils import DeadlockWrap as _DeadlockWrap 50 else: ---> 51 import _bsddb 52 from bsddb.dbutils import DeadlockWrap as _DeadlockWrap 53 except ImportError: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: libdb-4.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The planetplanet software requires the bsddb module. Maybe someone with more knowledge can resolve that issue on sage.math.washington.edu.
