 * I want to start my own blog with my own .com domain and I am very confused on
   how to set everything up. I have registered my domain with GoDaddy already. Can
   anyone give me some tips on how to get started?( as free a possible would be 
   great.) I would greatly appreciate it.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * _I want to start my own blog with my own .com domain_
 * Then buy a cheap hosting package and start learning about the installation. You
   don’t need anyting else.
    To make your own box at home your webserver… it’s too
   much for a self-declared “nub”, sorry.

 * You can put a .com domain on wordpress.com (free hosting), but have to deal with
   the limited access, but is really user friendly. Check out:
