Web log.  Web journal.  Take your pick of name.

WordPress is free, has a neat WYSIWYG editor in version 2, and has a good 
support community.  5 minutes to install vs an hour to code a basic interface 
- I'd take the 5 minutes :p

If he just wants to blog, he could consider the external hostings such as 
wordpress.com, livejournal.com etc.
