 * I believe I have insalled wordpress.org, but can’t continue to make an account.
   I have wordpress.com and when I registered to wordpress.org, it defaulted to 
   my wordpress.com login.

 * I thought word press.org would prompt me to get a domain.So I need to get a host?
   any suggestions? With word press.com I had a free account, but I know I have 
   to have to pay for word press.org. Thanks for your help.

 * Yes. Get a basic hosting account Hostgator is what I use. If you bought your 
   domain at Godaddy then use Godaddy hosting. Other wise you will have to go through
   and extra step. Godaddy will also install WordPress on their server for you.
