Hmm, actually following the documentation worked for me, but I'm not a 
novice either. It's true that it's not that simple. Actually, the last 
time I set up a blog for TYPO3 I didn't install TIMTAB, but just used 
tt_news with the "comments" extension. This works nearly out of the box.

The only thing you will lose is things like ping and trackback, but I 
read somewhere that these don't work properly anyway (I never used these 
myself). TIMTAB also has an interface for remote blogging, but last time 
I tried it, it didn't work...

HTH
