Anyway, maybe ODesk is the place to go for this, too, tho I also find communication is key there and the English is not always so great.

If you have a process documented then you can outsource it. However if you're setting up a handful of blogs you're probably better off doing it yourself.
I can set a blog up in less than an hour, I have a few tricks that make this process easier. Firstly I keep a premade set of Wordpress files, plugins and themes on a dummy site on my server, when wanting a fresh Wordpress install I simply copy the directory to the web root and then customise the wp-config.php file. Then I create a database using a simple bash script and then go to the domain in a web browser and configure Wordpress. Then I simply customise the framework theme which I use and the job is done. Add a few relevant posts so Google knows what the site is about right away and it's ready to be populated with content on an ongoing basis.
If you find Wordpress a chore to set up then there is no reason not to outsource it. One thing about
oDesk is when you find a good worker, hang on to them. If they are consistently good over time even consider pulling them out of the system and employ them directly.
