Hi,
I'm so confused. First I got told to host my wordpress files on a MAMP server, which is pointless, as it can only be seen by me, and no one else. And my Mac would always have to be on.
What do I do? Do I host the wordpress files to a web hosting service? If so how do i do that, and will everything work Okay?
Thanks

Well, if you want the world to see your blog, then you'll want to host it on an accessible web server, right? ;-)
If you are the only one you want to see the blog, then MAMP is a good option to run it all locally.
Have you check out the Docs section yet? There's some good "Getting Started" articles that may help you.

Yes, but it's confusing :) LOL
Basically, to host it, bung the folder on a webhosts server, ie godaddy.com ect.
After you have hosted it is there anything else you need to do?

Yup, just find a host that supports the minimum requirements and you're good to go. Many hosts even have installers that'll do it for you too.
