If you are like me, not a programmer, then to have your blog hosted at Network Solutions is a great idea. <BR/><BR/>They have a self installer for WordPress and I got up and running in about 10 minutes. It created the database and everything. I still have FTP access to load plug-ins and new themes, but the heavy lifting was all done by the installer.<BR/><BR/>There are a few other web hosts who do this as well. <BR/><BR/>If you don’t want to do that, you can pay Bill Downey about $50 at blogsgonewild.net to set up a blog for you on your hosting server. He is a real pro and does wonderful custom templates too.Nancy McCordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17667303984595845200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322205802339619436.post-27589896054675482422008-04-28T14:53:00.000-04:002008-04-28T14:53:00.000-04:00Hi Nancy. I am interested in using wordpress instead of blogger for my blogging platform.<BR/><BR/>I am not finding the wordpress site intuitive in where to start? I want to host it within my own site. Any ideas where to start?Russhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15788980260984933512noreply@blogger.com
