You need to _find_ someone to host your Wordpress blog (or go through the pain of setting it up yourself). If you get a free blog on wordpress.com you don't get to use many of the features it has. Even simple things like customizing your template/CSS can't be done! Old Blogger works just fine with an FTP server (how I used to use it). New Blogger can still work like this but clearly they want to move everyone to blogspot.com hosting (you can do some rather nifty things with the XML templates). By the way, if you don't enter the captcha correctly there's no indication that your comment failed.
