 * Hi
    I have just converted to Rapidweaver to WordPress and i am therefore a newbie.
   I have had my site built by a third party but it is now mine to manage. Do I 
   need a special license to get under the bonet of my site?
 * Apologies if this is basic but I have to start somewhere. Thank you.

 * No. WordPress is open source software and doesn’t require any license to modify
   your installation and/or build themes, plugins, etc.
