I have a Canon 50mm 1.8 II lens, which produces some nice blurring, especially for the cheap price. Although it isn't up to the professional level.Using a zoom lens with the largest aperture, as you mentioned is another way to blur the background. The only issue with this is that you will need to hold your camera more steady or you may blur more than just the background. Increasing the shutter speed will help with this or use a tripod.

I don't like this. I like blurry backgrounds and the subject in focus. I take nearly all my photos at the largest aperature to do this. The depth of field created at that setting a more attractive picture (except with landscapes as you mentioned you like to do). Sometimes it's not even enough, and I step back and use my zoom to create that depth of field. I find that at almost any setting, non-professional digital cameras keep nearly everything in focus.
