Recommendations for Blog site?

[pipster]

I am looking to start a blog, and was looking for those with experience on this to recommend a good site to start with. My requirements:

1) Ability to use my own domain (ie not xxx.blogger.com, but instead www.blahblah.com)
2) Update from anywhere with internet access(I figure they all do this)
3) Customizable layout/arragement (so I can have some stuff stay on the sidebar, and some other area be latest updates, etc). Also probably standard.

Thanks
Richard
