   Hi I'm not sure which section to post, so sorry if I'm posting in the wrong one.
   Anyhow, I wonder if there is any way to get a wordpress.org dashboard without paying for a downloading host? Thx for answer

   Not clean on what you want. If you want free hosted WordPress, go to wordpress.com . WordPress itself is a free download from http://wordpress.org/download/ and there are recommended hosts: http://wordpress.org/hosting/

   Or you could install WordPress locally.

   Well, I've tried the wordpress.com dashboard, but I want a dashboard where I can add plugins. And I found out that it was only possible with the wordpress.org dashboard. But every time I try to download it, it only opens in some stupid jZip format. So basically, I wonder how i can open the wordpress.org dashboard

   You need to install WordPress, either on a webhost (my links above) or locally (esmi's link), as pointed out above. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

   WordPress downloads as a .zip archive, not a .jzip; that's a config issue on your PC.

   Thanks for all the help guys, I installed the local windows host and moved it ti disc c. But after the installation I can't find it. It says that it should be on start -> programs, but I can't find anything there. How can I open it?

    Ok I'm trying to understand it here. I downloaded the local host for windows, which was an xampp and called dsl-win-v3.4.0b, once I installed it i dragged the folder from zip to C. WHen I opened it on C the installer was running, so I installed it. Before the installation was complete a little note told me that the desktopserver was to be found on start -> prorams, but I can't find it there
