Do I need to have a web host to put content on the internet?

Yes, unless you’re running your own server.

You have not answered my question.

Who are you that I have to answer your question?! Start your own bloody thread and quit hijacking others.

Have you read through the Theme Development section of the Codex? Also, Small Potato has an excellent tutorial on building a theme from scratch here. Additionally, Weblog Tools Collection has a video tutorial section covering all aspects of WordPress here.

Do you have access to phpMyAdmin?

Are you sure that people on the bloglist will receive pingbacks each time I write a new post even if the blogroll is not displayed?

One has nothing to do with the other. To be able to send and receive pingbacks make sure you have enabled them. Navigate to Settings > Discussion and at the top of the page you’ll see Default article settings.

Here’s a screen capture.

If you’re referring to bobv2 from BlogOhBlog then that theme already has its own archive page template –> archives.php

Write a new page, call it Archives and select that page template from the drop menu.

With respect to your bloglist page you can use this…

<?php
/*
Template Name: bloglist
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">
<div class="entry">

<h2>My Blogroll</h2>
	<ul>
		<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>
	</ul>

</div></div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Save it as bloglist.php and then assign it to your bloglist page.

There are several arguments that can be passed to wp_list_bookmarks() so you may want to do some reading.

i can upgrade his site whitout admin username or password.

So what? That file will only do anything if someone has deleted the old files from his server, uploaded the new ones and has yet not run the script. If the script has already been executed it won’t do anything.

As jdembowski said if it bothers you that much delete it.
