Does anyone know any good free blogging systems which have a good UI?

You're not going to find anything more widely adapted than Wordpress.

Which ever floats your boat, there is no 1 superior one. Ghost is more for blogging however Wordpress is better as a CMS.

Ghost runs off node.js, whereas Wordpress runs off PHP & (My)SQL.

It's not a fork of WordPress at all - it was built from the ground up, which their kickstarter programme boosted.

Perhaps you got confused on (and I quote);

Ghost, is my idealistic and fictional concept for a WordPress-lite fork.

Superiority for blogging, as this is what OP wanted; Ghost is superior as it's built for blogging.

Also, I'd choose Ghost.

ProTip: If you go with DigitalOcean, you can create a droplet which has Ghost already installed.

So I looked in to Ghost and it was very sweet, I have to say I liked it a lot. However it ran of Node.JS like you said so that sucked as I can't use that. I wasn't exactly looking for something really fancy, so when I came across AnchorCMS I was pleased, it was clean, simple and effective. It's still very new and looks promising so I checked it out and I liked it. So I thought I would use this one.
