Blog Resources
Here are some excellent resources for Blogging.
The eBook that I use is called *WordPress
Revealed*. I printed it out and keep beside my computer.
For those of you who prefer videos, here is a good series:
*Word Press Made Easy*.
The Hosting Company I recommend is
HostGator. They provide the CPanel/Fantastico site management
combination that is very good.
You will need a good
FTP program. I looked long and hard to find one that I liked. It is
simple and doesn't try to do too much for you! I recommend Core FTP
Lite.
There are a number of sites providing FREE
WordPress Themes:

functionality to WordPress Blogs.
