How simple do you want to go? I don't blog myself, but I kind of like the barebones, minimalist blogs hosted via Bear, Mataroa, and Write.as. The latter you can host yourself using WriteFreely.
Or you can pick a static site generator and a clean, simple theme. Lots of options, whether you want to DIY or go hosted.
