Wordpress is very easy. I am not too techy and am able to run 2 WP blogs with ease. The documentation is laid out well (unlike Joomla 1.5) and the plug-ins options are vast and super easy to install too.
I do suggest a host that has 1-click installs however as there are lots of updates and you will want to ensure you have the latest version. Without 1-click installs there is only a few additional steps and not difficult either. Steps nonetheless.

I am not even sure if you need this actually, it just may make it easier to embed the vids by using [ ]. A starting point anyway.
pm me anytime and I will assist in any way I can.
