Wordpress has a free version and a self-hosted version.
But, I highly advise you go for the self-hosted one.
To get that, you need a domain name and hosting.
Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Your Own Blog Once you have a domain name registered and hosted,you can then go into your cpanel.
To log into your cpanel,just type [http://yourdomain.
com/cpanel].
A small form will pop up,put in the user name and password given to you by your host.
Once inside your site,locate the fantastico button.
