There are number of blogging sites that are free to the user. Wordpress.com is the first one that comes to mind. I've had a blog there since 2009, about my hobby of ham radio. It hasn't cost me a penny.
As to your first point that nobody would read it, you might be surprised. I started my blog with the intention of simply keeping an online journal of my radio activities. There was no expectation - I simply wanted to enjoy the process of writing about, and documenting, my personal journey in the hobby. My first surprise was when I made some comment about maybe taking a break from blogging, and a popular and noted blogger in our world commented on it in his blog, "Seems like Tom is taking a break from blogging. We hope he'll come back soon" or something like that. "Holy cow!" I thought, "People who are actually somebody in this little hobby world of ours are reading my blog!" Slowly, my traffic grew, and I noticed that posts would get re-posted and blogged about on other sites too, some of them quite notable, such as the Make site, and Hackaday. I didn't ask for any of this attention - I just blogged.
So I guess what I'm saying is that as you obviously like to write, there is nothing stopping you from starting a (free) blog. Do it for the fun of it, and you might get some followers. Even if you don't get that many (but you probably will) it's still fun.
PS - there are lots of us here who will read it!
Wow!!!! Thank you! I had NO idea that it was that easy to set up a free blog and that somebody or other might actually read it. Wow, wow, wow.... now you have me thinking about it. I'll need to go check wordpress out.
