WordPress is free – and you could download it from wordpress.org – but don’t! (unless you are a techie).

The easiest way to download and install wordpress is by simply clicking on ”fantastico” from a web hosting account that uses ‘cpanel’ If your web hosting account doesn’t have cpanel, then you might want to change to one that does. 

The webhosting I use is eukhost

If you are new to wordpress, you may not know that you should first register a domain name suitable for your blog. When starting out, simply choose a domain for eukhost to register as part of your hosting package. Bear in mind, when choosing your hosting package, that each wordpress blog account you want to set up requires one mySQL database.

For domain names ending .com I use powerhoster.com

For domain names ending .co.uk I use telivo.co.uk
