For well-polished basics, I don't think you can do any better than posterous.
I just created a posterous account. Is it possible to add photos to a post after its been posted? I can see it gives you text editing, but no way of uploading photos? Do you get to decide where the photos fall in-line with the text?
Why be limited?

They seem to have import/export functionality to all the other big blog platforms, so it wouldn't be hard to jump out to another platform if you wanted to.
It's not free, though (starting at $8/mo).
it just works. for everything.
i've tried posterous and returned to wordpress.
edit: i've used wordpress both as a tech-dumb, just-want-to-blog-fast user, as well as set up and customized on my own server. curious what problems others have found with wordpress.
If you're looking to eventually do "cooler" stuff with blogging, go with WordPress or MoveableType. I've been with MT for almost five years. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably stay, but WordPress is looking awful good as well.
But for now? Just kicking around? Make it as easy as possible on yourself.
All of them. Register for a posterous account and you can autopost to other blogs/twitter/facebook/flickr/etc. Why be limited?
furthermore, the features are in the interfaces for writing and reading posts. you might as well choose a platform that allows you to write posts with all the image floating and code snippets you want. or whatever.
If you're looking for ease-of-use, posterous or Blogger. I'd probably go with Blogger, but there's nothing wrong with posterous either.

My blog and static product description pages use it http://www.gridspy.co.nz/ http://blog.gridspy.co.nz/
It is easy to use and a nice fast loading time (pre-rendered html) for visitors.
I'm writing a new blogging platform that is definitely much simpler than Blogger, Posterous or Tumblr. I'm hoping to get my first iteration out by the end of the week (yay for Thanksgiving break!) and will post it on Hacker News.
