Firstly, choose a hosting service. Many provide blog templates to make setting up your blog easy and some will give you a subdomain for free but if you want your own domain name you'll need to organise that yourself. For a fee hosting companies will also provide a valid SSL certificate.
Purchase a domain at any domain registration site. I use webcentral.au but there are many, so find one that suites your price range. The domain registrar will provide you with a control panel so you can setup your DNS record entries. This will allow you to point your domain name to your blog page.
Hope this helps.
