Not sure I entirely agree with all your suggestions, vrodpen, but most are right on. I would just add that if NoHypeType does go the free blogging platform route, she should make sure it allows advertising. WordPress.com does not, for example. I would actually recommend the self-hosted WordPress.org route myself, but it's not like a rule or anything.
As far as free info goes, it's true, everything you need to know is available free, but be very careful. Much, if not most, of the information floating around out there is either inaccurate, misleading, or just plain wrong. Verify, verify, verify.
