 * Forgive my ignorance, but if I install WordPress and later decide I don’t want
   to use WordPress or outgrow WordPress, what happens to all my content? Does it
   disappear with the uninstall? Will I have to import all my content in again?

 * The great thing about WordPress is that you can export XML of all your content
   and comments, tags and categories, etc. via Dashboard > Tools > Export. Then 
   there are ways to import the content in other applications.

 * How about the other way around? What if I create a web page and decide to use
   WordPress after I already have content up, is it just as easy that way?

 * If you create a website from any of those listed in this page – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content](http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content)–
   there are ways and means to import the content to your WordPress installation.
   Although I think it’s great that you want to set up your own hosted WordPress
   site, why not see if WordPress works for you by getting a free account at WordPress.
   com. There are limitations to theme choice and plugins, but that should give 
   you a bird’s eye view on what to expect.
