My mom wants a diary type blog where she can post some pictures and whatnot. Problem is, shes a complete computer illiterate (sp?). What is the best/easiest way for her to do this? Do I have to help her out with virtual servers and stuff or is there something completely web based? No porn jokes please. Thanks.

I think more of real blog like thingy dingy, but where you also can post a pic or two. But I don't know anything about blogs so...

movabletype rocks.

blogger would be the simplest way for her to do that.

there's supposed to be a new thing out now by the makers of movabletype that's like painfully simple and doesn't require much setup.
it's called typekey. do a search on it.

wordpress has an image browser plugin so that after uploading images you can search through a page of thumbnails, select one, and then hit "add to post" pretty simple but you need to hack wordpress a bit to get the button in a reasonable spot...works great tho and easy to set up

yeah stick to wyswyg like bloggers. stay away from movable type, it will be total mess for ya and your dear mom.
blogger can be nice, and what scarabin said

movable type is way to extensive/complicated..please avoid it like the plague.
Blogger is excellent for web-n00bs and they host it as well.. couldn't be easier..
