 * Thank you, Jetshack, but I think that will just confuse me more!
 * I’m going to just go with hosting from one of the partners and take it from there.

 * Uh oh…
 * Already lost.
 * I guess this is why WP has a comment next to the download button that says something
   like: “If you have no idea what to do with it once you download, hook up with
   a webhost with auto install.”
 * Is that right? ‘Cuz I went to that link you gave and just said, “WTF?”

 * Thanks, Jetshack, for taking that time. Much appreciated!
 * I admit, I’m a tad fearful of venturing into plugins, etc. I know nothing. I 
   am having a good time with wp.com for other stuff…I wonder if I’m up for more…
   But at the cost of the current service, I just can’t expand (or even get what
   I thought I was getting for the oodles I paid).
