    If you visit www.wordpress.org (not .com), you should find all the information you need. (Wordpress is just one of the options available, but it's the one I [and most] would suggest)

    If you've any specific questions after that (e.g. how to set up an 'offline' version on your local machine), let us know.

    Wordpress.com provides the wordpress hosted blogs.

    Wordpress.org is to provide exactly what you are looking for. You just download the software, upload it to your server and follow the guides/tutorials to get it set up.

    Only if you want people to read it ;)

    Depending on where you have created your wordpress installation, you'll have a path to your wordpress "index.php" page (probably "www.yourdomain.com/blog/" (if you installed it in a 'blog' directory) or whatever alternative you used). You can link to that page, as normal, using standard linking syntax (so in most cases, it would be the /blog/ option, but you could use /blog/index.php if you wished).
