i don't want to use blogger.com or digg.com
i want to roll my own (er, using ready-to-use widgets)
any suggestions?
i host on an Apache and have no idea how to put up a MySQL database (which i assume i'm going to have to learn in a hurry)
so, thanks for any advice. i appreciate it.

Actually, for blogging you could maybe check out:
http://wordpress.org/
There are lots of tools for updating your blog through it too:

Drupal is good, but for certain applications and it's probably overkill if you just want a blogger.

No, they offer the service, and are obviously keen on people using it, but it's not necessary.
