 * Hello
    I am about to install WordPress from my hosting account at Servage and
   the only version available is 3.9.1 and WordPress says on it’s own site that 
   you should always update to the latest version. I have sent Servage an e-mail
   and they say that they may update in the future but don’t know when that will
   happen. It concerns me that other hosts appear to use the latest versions and
   Servage doesn’t. Why is that ? I also don’t want to be in a position (as a novice)
   where I cause myself problems in the future. Can anyone help me with some good
   advice please ? Thanks in anticiaption…..

 * Firstly, it will be simple to upgrade your WordPress installation after you install
   v3.9.1, while technically obsolete, and you really do want to run a fully updated
   website. So Run the install, then login to the WordPress dashboard, and run through
   the updates of the plugins and WordPress core.
 * Otherwise you could do a manual install, just following the instructions, it 
   is not that hard. You will need to be familiar with your website management tools,
   like Filezilla for FTP and also parts of your website management like database
   management and so on.

 * Hello Ross
    Many thanks for your reply. I think I will take your initial advice
   as I am a complete novice and am learning from you tube videos etc. I am sure
   there are easier ways of building a website but I fancy ‘having a go’. Once again
   thank you and I am sure I will be asking further questions, some perhaps ridiculously
   simple, but it’s a little challenge for me!
