how do i start a blog and what?

Well there are lots of ways you can go. Here's decent way to go.

1. Decide why you want to start blogging. What is the goal. Truly spend a little time on this because it'll be what helps keep you motivated down the road.

2. Decide on a blog topic. Unless you're starting a blog just to speak your mind and whatever comes to it, try not to generalize too much and write for everyone. Write just for a specific crowd and really focus in on them.

3. Use WordPress for your blogging platform. There's lots of help and it's the #1 used tool.

4. Pick a web hosting company for your blog. I typically tell everyone to stay away from free blogs for a number of reasons which I won't get into here.

For hosting, I've used and liked:

WP Blog Host - http://wpbloghost.com/wordpress-hosting.html

eVentureBiz - http://eventurebiz.com/

WP Blog Host has an actual hosting plan which includes WordPress already installed on the account, so you don't have to worry about installing it, it's all ready to go.

5. Build your blog. It's important to get a few key things set up, like FeedBurner for your RSS and come up with what your blog's name is going to be.

Branding: Also, are you going to brand your name on your blog or brand a business name? For example, johndoe.com or blxcycling.com?

6. Develop a time schedule. How many times a week are you going to post. It doesn't have to be every day. One of the biggest hurdles for bloggers is time management.

Good luck.

Simple as can be, go to http://wordpress.com/ and start a free blog. Then say something interesting.
