What script does everyone use? I haven't a clue where to start, everything seems to lead me to back to the free blogging sites.

WordPress seems to definately be the adult bloggers choice script but if you are looking for something simple, SE friendly with RSS feeds there are any number of scripts that will work great. If I were to start over, I would probably take a close look at Boast Machine.
